We have an exciting new endeavor this month! I’m so excited to team up with Confidence Coach Leslie Randolph on Connected & Confident, an 8 week group for 5th grade girls.

Across the 8 weeks we will focus on specific concepts connected to self-confidence and/or social skills. The weekly topics include:

🌼 The foundations of friendship and navigating the ups and downs of friendship with resilience
🌼 Emotional regulation and mindfulness
🌼 Building self-confidence in who they are and how they show up with others
🌼Exploring and understanding communication styles, navigating in person vs online communication
🌼Develop social skills that support and foster meaningful, healthy friendships

This group is perfect for 5th grade girls who are kind, thoughtful, and just need a little extra support feeling confident and connected with peers.

Spots are limited! DM us or email at connectedconfident@gmail.com to learn more!

We still have a few spots left in our fall social groups!

💬What do our groups support? We don’t focus on specific skills; we meet children where they’re at developmentally and support engagement, shared attention, and connection and foster positive peer interactions, with scaffolding as needed, to build social pragmatic skills within natural interactions. We do this through play, supporting shared ideation and social problem-solving, encouraging verbal and nonverbal communication.

💬What do our groups look like? All groups have a maximum of 5 children and are co-led by 2 SLPs so ensure each child gets individual support. We always start with an intake session where we can get to know your child . We work hard to ensure kids are a good match so everyone feels successful!

❓Want to know more? Reach out for more information! We love to have your child join us!

💬 What is Early Intervention? Early Intervention is the state program that provides services ands support to children 0-3 with developmental delays or disabilities. EI offers speech, occupational, physical, and/or developmental therapy and is tailored to the individual needs of each child and family. Family participation is a key component.

💬What do sessions typically look like? Sessions typically take place in the home or daycare/preschool, but can also take place within the community, such as the park, library, or play spaces. Caregivers are present and encouraged to participate to allow for coaching opportunities and carryover outside of sessions. As clinicians, we follow the child’s lead and build off their interests to support language within meaningful contexts.

💬How do I know if my child would benefit? If you have any concerns about your child’s development, you can speak with your child’s pediatrician. You don’t need a referral, you can also contact your regions CFC directly and initiate an evaluation.

💬It might look like we’re just playing, but we are always supporting comprehension, expressive language, and social skills!
