Kidztales is proud to offer various group therapy programs this summer.
For Fall programs, please check back in August.
FRIENDSHIPTALES
for social communication and friendship-building
The Friendshiptales program is designed to help children build meaningful friendships while strengthening key social communication skills. This small-group program focuses on teaching kids how to start and maintain conversations, take turns, read social cues, and solve problems with peers.
STORYTALES
for literacy - reading and writing
Storytales is our literacy-focused group program that helps kids develop the building blocks for reading and writing in a fun, interactive way. Through storytelling, imaginative play and hands-on activities, kids learn to understand and retell stories, recognize familiar words, build vocabulary, and develop early writing skills.
THINKTALES
for executive functioning - planning, organizing & execution skills
Thinktales is our group program designed to help children strengthen their executive functioning skills—the mental tools we use to plan, stay organized, monitor progress, and solve problems. In this playful, theme-based group, kids learn how to follow multi-step directions, stay focused on tasks, adapt to changes, and think ahead.
