Kids We Serve

Children with delayed social skills are a diverse population. Some may have speech-language delays, gross-fine motor delays, cognitive delays, ADHD/ADD, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), or delayed development in the area of play skills resulting from limited opportunities to interact with other children

Did you know?

Social skills/play skills are the basis for which all language is built. Children develop cognitive-academic skills, expressive language skills, gross motor skills,and fine motor skills through play in the early years of life. Basic social skills are present starting at birth!

Age of Technology

Many children are no longer developing play skills normally. Instead, computers, cell phones, and TVs are the focus of development. While technology is a valuable learning tool, crucial play skills are not developed during technology use. The result is a lack of social/play skills leading to a long-term impact on academic, vocational and interpersonal skills.
