How We Can Help You

Social Opportunities

Students in our group programs are screened for program readiness and matched based on age and abilities. This makes group program placements a great place for students to make friendships with like-minded peers.

Lower Staffing Ratio

Transitioning from a one-to-one placement to a classroom at kindergarten entry can be challenging for children, and group placements are a great way to provide a bridge to the lower classroom ratio that is often required at kindergarten entry.

Social Learning

Our group program staff create careful teaching opportunities that blend multiple children’s goals into a single activity. Children have the opportunity to learn from other students’ teaching and build social learning skills.
