Imagine a place without worry, without judgment… That’s the idea behind our Where I Can Be Me social skills with Art and Play program. Our board certified experts utilize a unique blend of behavior techniques, social-communication, music, art and social skills training to improve your child’s play skills, social interaction and behavior.

We believe that children should have the opportunity to become their best selves. In other words we want to help your child develop an understanding of social situations so that he (or she) can apply his new skills in his everyday life.
Placement Matters… A Lot
We have developed a proprietary system called Facilitated Peer Modeling™. It is based on the fact that children learn best through modeling.
Among other things Facilitated Peer Modeling™ involves placing the children so that they balance each other. Within each of our social skills groups we want there to be similarities and differences. If all the children are too different then they cannot learn from one another because they cannot make a connection. If all the children are too similar they will not have appropriate behaviors to model. So balance is a key to eliciting the behaviors we want to encourage and those we want to inhibit.
With that in mind your child will be placed in a class based on his or her needs. We will not place your child in a class just because it is open. We will place your child with children who will help to bring out the best in one another.
Art was something that he never seemed to have patience for and somehow Sabrina has encouraged him not only to love it but to take the time to do it! The feedback emails have been very helpful. Not only do they answer questions that we would have asked but they point out behaviors that we need to reinforce.
We recommend this program to anyone who is looking! We love it! More importantly our son does!! We have noticed the positive changes! Thank you!”

How We Create Teachable Moments
Our instructors facilitate this through the creation of teachable moments. That is why we use art, play and other social activities. We want these moments to arise both naturally and through our facilitation of the process. While there are various ways we can show the correct behavior it is more effective to illicit teachable moments from each of the children. As with all learning, “learning though experience” is an incredibly powerful way to achieve understanding.
There is a great deal more information about this program that we do not include on our website. So if you are interested in joining our program, or if you would like to find out how else we can help your child, we have a special information packet for you. You can get your information packet for free by using one of the four convenient ways listed below.
(by the way, as an extra bonus for requesting more information we will also give you a free subscription to our monthly newsletter “the Kids’ Health Spectator”. Every issue covers something related to kids’ health. We cover issues such as autism, picky eating, nutrition and communication just to name a few. It is sometimes funny, sometimes sad and occasionally controversial. Our goal is to give you helpful information in a fast, easy and entertaining format. It will be mailed to your doorstep once a month.)
