Social Butterflies is a social skills group working with preschool and elementary aged children who have a variety of communication and social/emotional delays including ADD, ADHD, Oppositional-Defiant Disorder, social anxiety, Sensory Integration Dysfunction Disorder, high functioning Autism, PDD-NOS and Asperger’s Syndrome. Social Butterflies is also for children who have no specific classification and are struggling to communicate and interact comfortably with the people and world around them. Children are grouped based on functioning skill levels. Skill levels are assessed during every session so that by the end of ten weeks there is data to determine if improvements are being made and if a level of generalization has been achieved. Social Butterflies teaches the rules of social behavior and the rules of social language, and then puts these skills to use in everyday experiences through the development of themes. Social Butterflies runs year round, in ten-week cycles of one-hour sessions. Call or visit the Web for details. Locations throughout Westchester County. Additional programs include karate, cooking, science and community field trips. The staff looks forward to working with you and your children.
