Who can Attend?
When and Where?
-
Weekly
50-minute group sessions will be held with time to talk with the
therapists at the end of the session. The groups will be comprised
of 2 children.

Sessions begin
at 9:00am and conclude at 4:20pm. You may request a day preference

Although we
recognize families’ busy schedules, requests for days and times will

experience for the summer program. For the benefit of all, our
priority is to schedule groups that match in age and ability level
before day and time requests. We appreciate your understanding in
