Wordless Wonder Stories  

Duration:  8 weeks

When:  Wednesdays @ 6:45pm  

Where:  inperson

Ages: 8-10 years.  4 children maximum

This group will work collaboratively to chose a WORDLESS picture book to study and create a story script.  Using a Social Thinking approach, we will learn strategies to begin to understand other's thoughts and actions (perspective taking). We will make smart guesses about characters’ thoughts and feelings which can help us guess what their plans might be.  As a group we will create a story for our wordless book.  Using strategies from Sarah Ward for planning and executive functioning, children will also learn tools for group projects.

Please note, this group is for children who are present clients with SYM.  Language assessments need to have been completed.
