Group Programs & Skill-Building Opportunities

Structured small-group experiences designed to build social, emotional, and behavioral skills in a supportive environment.

Groups run on scheduled days and have limited enrollment.

Infant/Toddler Socialization Groups

(Play-Based Learning &

Early Peer Experiences)

Supports early social development through guided, play-based group experiences in a structured and nurturing environment.

Children participate in small-group sessions focused on play, exploration, routine, and positive early interactions with peers. Activities are designed to encourage engagement, build comfort in group settings, and support early communication and social development.

Prior to participation, families complete an intake process to help us understand each child’s temperament, developmental needs, and areas of support. This allows for thoughtful group placement and a responsive, supportive experience for both children and caregivers.

Groups are intentionally small and facilitated by trained staff who guide play, model interactions, and establish predictable routines that promote engagement and a sense of security. Caregiver participation may be incorporated as appropriate to support comfort, transition, and skill carryover.

While the program is not therapeutic in nature, it is informed by early childhood best practices and developmentally appropriate learning models.

This program is ideal for children ages 2 1/2 to 5 who would benefit from early peer interaction, structured play, and guided opportunities to build social confidence.

Social Skills Squad

Builds social confidence and essential peer interaction skills through structured, small-group experiences.

Children participate in engaging, guided sessions where they practice communication, cooperation, emotional regulation, and problem-solving alongside peers. Activities include role-play, games, and facilitated interactions designed to promote real-world application of skills. Skills are practiced in a structured setting with the goal of increasing confidence, independence, and successful interaction across home, school, and community environments.

Groups are developmentally appropriate and led by trained professionals who model, prompt, and reinforce positive social behaviors while encouraging active participation and peer connection.

Sessions run on a consistent schedule with limited group sizes to ensure individualized attention within a supportive group setting. Program details, age groupings, and availability may vary.

Character & Community Club

Join the interest list for upcoming cohorts (Winter 2026)

Builds confidence, character, and leadership through structured group experiences focused on connection, responsibility, and personal growth.

Children participate in meaningful group activities designed to strengthen cooperation, self-awareness, and positive peer relationships. Sessions emphasize respect, accountability, problem-solving, and emotional regulation within a supportive, community-centered environment.

Activities may include collaborative projects, guided discussions, social games, and community-based experiences that encourage participation, connection, and a sense of belonging. The goal is to support children in becoming confident, capable, and compassionate individuals within their communities.

Character & Community Club is designed for children who are ready to build on foundational social skills and benefit from structure, positive peer models, and opportunities to develop leadership and social responsibility.

One - on - One Services

One-on-one supports tailored to the unique needs of your child, family, or educational team. Ongoing sessions are typically 60–90 minutes, while assessments and consultations vary by service.

Behavior Support Assessment & Planning/Intake Session

Establishes a clear starting point for understanding a child’s needs and determining appropriate next steps for support.

Following intake and consent, this session focuses on gathering meaningful information through observation, targeted data collection, and collaboration with families to understand a child’s strengths, needs, and learning environment.

Findings from this session are used to guide planning and may inform the development of an individualized support plan.

This may include:

Encouraging positive behavior change
Strengthening communication and self-regulation skills
Equipping families with practical, effective strategies

Comprehensive & Behavior Assessments (Understanding Needs & Next Steps)

Provides a detailed understanding of an individual’s strengths, needs, and the factors influencing learning, behavior, and development to guide effective, individualized support.

Assessment serves as the foundation for meaningful intervention. Through structured observation, collaboration, and data collection, we identify patterns that impact communication, behavior, social interaction, emotional regulation, and daily functioning across environments.

While all services include ongoing assessment to inform instruction, some individuals benefit from a more comprehensive review to better understand complex needs or determine appropriate levels of support.

Comprehensive assessments are conducted across multiple sessions and may include input from caregivers, educators, and other professionals when appropriate. Information gathered helps guide thoughtful planning across home, school, community, and program settings.

Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)

A Functional Behavior Assessment identifies the purpose or function of behaviors that may interfere with learning, relationships, or daily functioning. Through structured observation, interviews, and data analysis, we examine patterns, triggers, environmental influences, and skill gaps that contribute to behavior.

Findings are used to develop practical, evidence-informed strategies that support positive behavior change, skill development, and improved participation across settings.

Families receive a clear summary of findings along with recommendations that can be implemented consistently at home, in educational environments, and within support services.

Comprehensive Developmental & Behavioral Assessment

A comprehensive assessment provides a holistic review of developmental and behavioral functioning, which may include:

• communication skills
• social-emotional development
• adaptive and daily living skills
• learning readiness and cognitive strengths
• self-regulation and coping skills
• behavior patterns across environments

The assessment process helps identify strengths, priority areas for support, and meaningful next steps for individualized planning.

The level and type of assessment is determined collaboratively based on individual needs, family input, and the scope of services being considered.

Positive Behavior Support Plan + Weekly Services

This service is designed to provide ongoing, individualized support to help children build, practice, and generalize skills across everyday settings.

Following assessment and planning, families may enroll in ongoing, individualized support services designed to help children practice and generalize skills in real-life settings.

Services are delivered on a weekly basis and guided by the child’s Individualized Service Plan (ISP). Support is tailored to the child’s developmental level, goals, and environment, with sessions taking place in the home, community, or other natural settings.

Intervention focuses on:

Strengthening communication, social, and self-regulation skills
Teaching functional replacement behaviors
Supporting participation in daily routines, peer interactions, and community activities

Services may be provided by trained professionals, including special educators, SEL coaches, and behavior support staff, within a structured, evidence-based framework grounded in PBIS and ABA principles.

When appropriate, children receiving individualized services may participate in select group or social activities alongside their support provider to promote generalization and social engagement.

This service is available for children beginning at 2.5 years of age through adolescence, with supports evolving over time. Transition planning is incorporated as appropriate to promote independence and long-term success.

Service providers are trained and supervised to ensure consistency, quality, and alignment with each child’s plan of support.

Home & Community-Based Support (Individual Support Services)

Supports children in building independence, daily living skills, and positive routines within the home and community. Services focus on real-life skill development, including communication, behavior, and social interaction, with an emphasis on consistency and carryover across settings.

Home & Community-Based Support, also known as Individual Support Services (ISS), is designed to help children develop practical life skills and positive behaviors within their everyday environments. Services are provided in the home and community to ensure that skills are meaningful, functional, and transferable across settings.

This service focuses on strengthening independence, improving daily routines, and supporting children in applying social, communication, and behavioral skills in real-life situations. Home & Community-Based Support services are skill-building and educational in nature. These services are not clinical therapy but are designed to support the development of functional skills, independence, and positive behavior in everyday settings.

Support is individualized based on each child’s needs and may include structured activities, guided practice, and caregiver collaboration to ensure consistency across home and community settings.

Areas of Focus May Include:

Daily living skills (e.g., hygiene, dressing, meal routines)
Following routines and transitions
Communication and functional language
Behavior support and self-regulation
Community participation (e.g., outings, public behavior expectations)

Virtual Reality (VR) Social Learning Experiences

Guided, immersive learning experiences supporting social, emotional, communication, and functional skill development through interactive virtual scenarios. Offered in person or virtually.

Virtual Reality (VR) Skill Building Program

Builds social, emotional, and functional skills through guided virtual reality experiences that simulate real-life situations in a structured and supportive environment.

Using Floreo® virtual reality software, participants engage in interactive scenarios designed to strengthen communication, emotional regulation, social interaction, daily living skills, and community participation. Virtual simulations provide opportunities to safely practice real-world situations repeatedly while receiving guided coaching and feedback.

Sessions are facilitated by trained professionals who support participants in connecting virtual practice to real-life application, helping increase confidence, independence, and skill generalization across environments.

Virtual reality activities are often integrated into Social Skills Squad and Character & Community Club sessions to reinforce learning objectives and provide additional opportunities for guided practice.

Standalone virtual sessions may be available for individuals who prefer remote participation or who are located outside of the local service area.

This service is appropriate for children, adolescents, and adults when the technology supports individualized goals and program fit.

Support & Guidance

Individualized parent coaching and advocacy to help families navigate concerns, build effective strategies, and support consistency across home, school, and community environments.

Family Training & Coaching

Equips parents and caregivers with practical strategies to support positive behavior, strengthen communication, and create consistency across daily routines.

Sessions focus on helping families apply PBIS and ABA-informed strategies that reinforce skill development, encourage positive behavior, and support meaningful progress across home and community environments.

Coaching is collaborative and individualized, allowing caregivers to build confidence in using supportive techniques that promote emotional regulation, independence, and improved family interactions.

Family Training & Coaching may be scheduled as a standalone parent support service or combined with ongoing individualized or group services to promote alignment, consistency, and carryover of skills across settings.

Child & Family Advocacy

(Professional Representation)

Helps families navigate the special education process with clarity, confidence, and informed decision-making.

Services include a thorough review and explanation of a child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP), with attention to assessments, services, goals, accommodations, and placement recommendations.

Support may also include preparation for meetings, guidance on parent rights, and professional participation in IEP meetings or school-based planning sessions when appropriate.

The goal is to ensure families feel informed, supported, and equipped to make decisions that align with their child’s needs, educational progress, and long-term success.

Services are available virtually or in person based on family preference and need.
