Social Skills Groups for Pre-School
through Middle School
|
Groups with young children and pre-adolescents
focus mainly on learning skills associated with
the curriculum listed. The children participate
in fun activities and drama to
help teach and foster pragmatic language
development. However, it is only part of
therapeutic experience provided. The other part
is the group process that develops as the
sessions progress. Over time, group members tend
to emulate many of their issues from home,
school, work, etc. This is the time for the
group to process and learn from the issues and
problems.
The children
are also encouraged to discuss social issues or
problems they encounter outside group. This
helps normalize many of the issues our children
have, as well as foster a supportive group
environment. |

 The
High School Group is a
transitional group. Group
members are also taught the
basic skills listed in the
curriculum, but the group is
less structured, allowing
for the development of a
group dynamic. Group members
learn as they interact with
one another within this
dynamic. Members are also
encouraged to share and help
each other cope and/or solve
personal social problems.
Young teens in this group
enjoy the continued use of
drama
as a
powerful tool for learning
skills. |

Groups for Young Adults
and Older Adults
| |
|
These groups are a
combination of CBT
(Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy) and
Process-Oriented Therapy.
Pragmatic themes are
discussed in the context of
the group process.
While much of the material
comes from the group
dynamic, as well as any
issues or problems that the
members share from their own
environment, this group is
goal-oriented utilizing CBT
to improve skills. |
