Parent Group Starting Soon

Questions most frequently raised by parents…

• How much responsibility should I expect from my child/young adult?

• What consequences are appropriate for his/her age?

• What rules should I set up and how should I enforce them?

• How do I encourage good sleep and homework habits?

• If my child/young adult has a special need, do I adjust my expectations and how do I explain this to my other children?

• “Hot Topics” – social media, drugs and alcohol, sexual behavior

If you are interested, sign up for a 6 week group of like-minded, concerned parents to address these issues. Hosted by Jean Ruttenberg, parenting and child specialist with expertise working with families and children with special needs.

Lego Group is Starting Up Soon!

June 28, 2016

At LEGO CLUB, kids will engage in set builds, production of Lego stop-motion movies, and much more. Your child will develop their problem solving skills, social abilities, and creativity, all while having a great time! The goal of LEGO CLUB is to create fun and interactive experiences for your child.

WHAT IS IT? The LEGO® CLUB is a collaborative, play therapy in which children work together to build LEGO® models. Dr. Lovrinic, Psychologist, facilitates the natural learning of social skills by engaging your child in a creative modality that they love!

Six, 1 – hour sessions, on Thursdays, from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Beginning July 14th at The Center.

COST: $150.00 per child for six sessions

WHY DOES IT WORK: LEGO® based therapy focuses on key social experiences such as collaboration, division of labor, joint attention, sharing, turn taking, eye contact, verbal and non-verbal communication, and social problem solving.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? All children are welcome, ages 10-13. Children with social communication challenges, are socially shy/anxious, have trouble understanding verbal and nonverbal communication, and trouble with joint attention. If you love Legos and want to develop your leadership skills in working collaboratively with others, this group is for you. Bring your creativity.

On the first night of the Lego group, a parent session will also be offered. During this time, parents will be given an overview of the group, as well as strategies to encourage appropriate social skills in their children. This session is designed to highlight ways in which the parents can act as “coaches” for their children at home, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the group overall.

Cost: $25 per parent/couple

To sign up your child, please call our office at 215-491-1119! Space is limited!
