Creative Connections
Wednesdsays, 4:15-5:00pm
For neurodivergent students and those with disabilities. Students will connect with peers, develop social/communication skills, and have a fun space to creatively express themselves. Developmentally appropriate activities will focus on increasing ability to attend, taking turns, communication skills, self expression, and self regulation. We'll guide the group through drumming, singing, songwriting, playing instruments, movement and music games! No experience necessary!
Who does Creative Connections most benefit? This group will most benefit children with an ASD/IDD or global delay diagnosis. Kids in this program may struggle to find other after school programs that are accessible to them. Children in this group will be working on improving the following skills: following the group plan, building connections with peers, engaging in reciprocal conversation, and following one-step directives. If your child needs periodic breaks or requires 1:1 attention at school, they may need a 1:1 to ensure they are most successful. A caregiver, therapist, or support staff is welcome to attend the group if they are unable to participate independently within the group. All communication styles are welcome (if your child utilizes an AAC device, please bring it to group with them).
