Summer Social Language Group Therapy Program: SPACE STILL AVAILABLE
The University of Maryland's Hearing and Speech Clinic is offering a Social Language Group Therapy Program this summer for children with Autism, Asperger's Syndrome and other social language problems. Activity-based intervention will engage children and provide a format to practice social interaction skills. Group sessions target functional communication skills such as: improving self-advocacy skills, identifying common interests with others, handling disagreements, using manners, starting conversations, interpreting nonverbal communication, joining in play, and turn-taking. Activities are structured around a variety of themes such as art/crafts, games, cooking, music, science experiments and drama.
