Communication Connection
Communication is one of the cornerstones of building connections and meaningful relationships, and is vital for advocating for what we want and need in life. With this in mind, we dedicate an hour of our day to hosting a custom speech and language skills group, with options for varied skill levels. Each month is centered around a literary text or theme and is full to the brim with engaging, hands-on activities that make learning communication skills come naturally.
