Pragmatics in Action!
(Speech Pathology and Counseling

theme-based activities. Participants in this group must have adequate language skills to carry on a conversation, be able to follow directions independently, and be
independent when participating in a group. Min/Max: 4/8

Move It and Groove It!
(Clinical Counseling)
Led by licensed Clinical Social Worker, Tom Undine, the Move It and Groove It Club uses Martial Arts techniques and dance to help children understand difficult
emotions such as anxiety and frustration, how emotions affect the body, and what to do when strong feelings arise. The group teaches children ways to redirect, express,
and handle their emotions in creative ways. The group exercises and activities emphasize social interaction, body awareness, self recognition, and emotional awareness.
This is an excellent group for children with self-esteem issues, children who isolate or have difficulty with outbursts, and children with high anxiety. Tom has over 7 years
experience in Martial Arts and is an accomplished dancer. He is very excited to help the kids get down, Kung Fu and boogie!

(Speech Pathologist and Clinical Counselor)
Our Speech Pathologist and Clinical Social Worker (who plays 5 instruments) have struck a chord and offer a music-based pragmatics group. Many children
have difficulty in traditional speech and counseling settings. Music will be used to develop a foundation of social/emotional skills, communication,
and language competency. Children will work toward social competency, emotional understanding, coping strategies and taking the perspective of others.

Hear to Play!
(Deaf/Hard of Hearing - Aural Rehab./Speech Pathology)
Kids with hearing loss benefit from the social-emotional support and the company of their deaf and hard of hearing peers. Friendships in this small community often
last for a lifetime. Whether the child is learning to listen with hearing aids or a cochlear implant, or using basic signs to facilitate communication, this
group allows children to experience social growth while improving communication.
Ages 2 to 3 Thursday: 9:30-10:45
The Art of Play!
Licensed Clinical Social Worker Tom Undine, and accomplished muralist, incorporates art as a means of therapeutic intervention for children who have experienced loss
or other trauma in their life. Situations such as divorce, separation, etc. are difficult subjects to approach with children, especially given their young age.
This group opens up a dialogue by allowing children to create and then reflect upon the art products and process to increase their awareness of self and others, cope
with anxiety and manage stress. Children will enjoy the life affirming joy of making art while engaging in a therapeutic group setting.
Ages 3 to 4 Monday: 1:30-2:30
