Social Skills Camp

If your child is starting pre-K or kindergarten in the Fall then Summer is a great time to sign them up for a socials skills program. A good social skills program can prepare children to deal with a new world of scary challenges by starting them in a smaller, less intimidating setting of only a few children. We help children to deal with the inner drama of unfamiliar people and asking them for basic needs such as help with their shoes, how to take turns, or how to express their feelings. We help them to find their voice and their confidence to make friends, be proud of what makes them unique, and establish a warm and positive feeling about school.

​

Defining Voice's Social Skills Camps are taught by licensed medical professionals who specialize in Pediatric language and communication development. Our therapists have spent their career working with children in both medical and educational settings.

​

After an initial assessment, children are grouped by age and existing language skills.
