Social Groups
Who is appropriate for our groups?
Children who exhibit articulation disorders, phonological processes, Childhood Apraxia of Speech or any other speech sound pattern that impacts their daily independent communication would be appropriate for our Speech-Sound Bootcamp. Any child working on improving their communication abilities, social skills, conversation skills, and/or turn taking would be appropriate for our Buddy Bunch/Social Skills group. Children wanting to maintain or improve their fine motor strength and skills would benefit from our Handwriting Camp. Little ones ages 18 months - 30 months will enjoy peer interaction and age appropriate games in Tot Time.
Parents may be asked to complete a screening or consultation prior to finalizing group enrollment in order to determine the most appropriate group placement for your child. All group participants are subject to clinician approval.
* Age ranges are approximate. We will consider your child's age, cognitive abilities, and group readiness when making placement recommendations
Why attend our groups?

Programming designed and led by dedicated and experienced Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, and Licensed Mental Health Professionals
A fun and functional hour spent developing critical skills that children need for success in school, at home, and in day-to-day activities.
Does my child have to be a patient at NETC to join a group?
No, any child or adult who would benefit from our groups is welcome to attend!
Is there rolling admission or is there a deadline to join groups?
To ensure that your child gets to participate in whichever group you would like them to join (subject to clinician approval) we recommend that you do apply by the date advertised, but - if there is space - there is a rolling admission!
