To Join…

For social education to work well, great care must be taken when placing kids in a group with his or her peers. Careful consideration is made around each student's social development, cognitive profile, chronological age, and strengths and interests when creating groups. For this reason, all social groups and social education programming require an intake meeting to learn more about a student and to assess fit. In the event that we do not have a group that fits, we will either offer a child a space on our waiting list or make a thoughtful, informed referral to another local provider.

There is a $65 intake fee. Student and parent attend the intake meeting, generally held on Tuesday evenings. To schedule an intake, click here. To learn more about if groups could be a fit for your child, send us an email.
