Want your child to have success with…

GROUP SCHEDULE
We have two schedule options for you to choose from, depending on what works best for your child’s and your family’s needs.
Full Program
Signing up for the full program means that your child’s spot is locked in for ALL 6 GROUP MEETINGS! We recommend this option for the biggest clinical benefit. It’s also the more cost-effective choice per individual meeting ($120 total discount). Sweet!
Single Sessions
Not sure if you can swing all 6 meetings? No problem!
Signing up for single sessions means that you can pick exactly which meetings your child attends. This choice allows some flexibility and costs less overall. Bussin’!
*PLEASE NOTE: Choosing this option means committing to AT LEAST FOUR (4) OF THE SIX (6) AVAILABLE MEETINGS.
We want to make sure this social group is worthwhile and makes a real difference for the families who commit to it. Participating in at least 4 meetings will give your child a much stronger chance of building a short-term routine around this event, creating meaningful connections with peers, and practicing social skills that take time and effort to master.
GROUP ARRANGEMENT
We will have two groups, arranged based on physical and developmental age.
ROCKIN’ RHINOS [3:00-3:50pm] will work on foundational social skills usually mastered when a kiddo is 5-7 years old (physical or developmental age).
ZANY ZEBRAS [4:00-4:50pm] will work on more complex social skills usually mastered when a kiddo is 8-11 years old (physical or developmental age).
Check with Miss Montana to find out more and see which group is the right fit for your child!
If your child does not have clinical information from speech-language services (e.g., speech-language evaluation, goals for speech therapy), we will provide a complimentary screening/mini-assessment before our first meeting to place them in the appropriate group.
Take a peek at “What’s it gonna cost me?” for details on pricing.
