Therapeutic Playdate Sessions

Bring the fun of a playdate into purposeful speech, language and social skill growth. During these sessions, two children—either your child plus a friend or sibling, or a pair we arrange—work together in a playful, guided environment. Sessions are offered in-office or at home, so your child can learn in the space that feels most comfortable and natural. Through strategies embedded in motivating play routines, our therapist supports both children (or focuses on one child as needed), helping them practice communication and social interaction in real time.
