Social Language Groups What is a Social Language Group? The main goal of our social language groups is to teach children how to appropriately interact with their peers. Asking and answering questions, reading body language, and starting, maintaining and ending meaningful conversations, are just a few of the critical skills worked on in these groups. Why Incorporate Snacks/Lunch? Snack time, lunch and recess are supposed to be fun. However, for some children, these are the most stressful times of the day. Children who have difficulty socializing may exhibit frustration, anxiety or impulsive behavior as they struggle to appropriately engage, play and share with other children. These two innovative groups specifically emphasize the development of social language skills in these unstructured environments… which is critical for success in school, play, and everyday life. Why Have a Group Led by a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP)? In addition to speech (production of the sounds of language), SLPs are experts in all areas of communication. SLPs can work on pragmatics—the “rules” to appropriate social interaction that are usually intuitively learned, but can be very difficult for some children. Even if a child has never had a diagnosis of a speech or communication disorder, they can struggle with language and pragmatics, affecting their ability to interact in all social settings. |
