Building groups for Summer 2024

4/16/2024

0 Comments

 
Summer is around the corner, and people are seeking group activities!

I have a few promising groups being established this summer that I'm excited about. I'd like groups to meet 1-2 times a week as able through the summer. Please contact me for details re: fees and scheduling! I like to work with people, and I don't "package" my groups but prefer to provide activities that are relevant to enrolled members.

Adults/Caregivers:
I want to offer a parent group this year! I'm hoping that I can provide a virtual "training" for parents to discuss how to support their children at home. This can be for caregivers, parents, teachers, or anyone who interacts with and supports children. I will craft the content based on the participants, but will focus on the concept of modelling & scaffolding, goal setting & accountability, and/or games that help with practicing and growing a variety of cognitive-linguistic skills!

Social Problem Solving: Middle School (Approx. Ages 11-14)
I have a group of middle schoolers forming who will work on social problem solving, nonverbal inferences, and long term planning. 

Teen Conversations: (Ages 14-18)
Finally, I have a group of high-schoolers who are working on conversational skills. This can be due to struggles with perspective taking and nonverbal language skills, pace and processing speed, fear of social repercussions, passivity during conversations, or hyper-focus on their preferred topics. 

Young Professionals: (Ages 18+)
Coordinating young professionals in college or early work life to meet and build social resources, support networks, and life-stage communities. I am matching based on need/interest and neuro-compatibility, however the goal is not to facilitate these groups long-term, but encourage the young adults to foster and plan their own events. 

I am always interested in hosting groups, and trying to connect folks with similar experience. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you are unsure or if something you feel you need is missing- let's problem solve together!
