Speech Language Pathologists operate under the guidelines of the College of Speech Language Pathologists and Audiologists (CASLPO). We take our directives from the Ministry of Health.
As of January 2022, SYM is continuing their social thinking groups online.
Wordless Wonder Stories
Duration: 8 weeks
When: Wednesdays @ 6:45pm
Where: virtual
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 identify the emotions of characters in stories. 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.

Make Connections!
Duration: 6 weeks
When: Wednesdays @ 6:45pm
Ages: 6-8 years, 4 children maximum
Through our interactive online platform we will be facilitating CONNECTIONS! To begin, each week children will be asked to bring something special to the screen. Our group will ask questions to discover the special item! Using green screen technology we will then transport as a group to different social spaces - we will discuss how we can best understand the social environment and what we can do and say!
Please note, this group is for children who are present clients with SYM. Language assessments need to have been completed.
