Social Group enhances Social-Emotional Development through fun activities.

• Emotional regulation: the ability to manage intense emotions, while maintaining engagement with others • Non-verbal communication: 80% of communication is relayed nonverbally. Truly understanding what a person is saying goes beyond the words they are using, to include interpreting facial expressions and gestures. This is the key to sustaining quality interactions and requires abstract thinking of the others experiences, capacity here builds empathy and understanding social complexities from everyone’s point of view.

• Social problem-solving: the ability to work through a problem with someone else, considering another person's’ intentions and perspective. This is the foundation for social success both inside and outside of school • This Group builds LIFE skills for relating successfully to a range of personalities How: All activities will take place in a fun and interactive group setting.

Therapists are trained in total development and will take social-emotional development into consideration throughout the group to ensure a positive experience for all children.
