Speech & Language Therapy
iSocialize – Social Language Groups:
i-Socialize is a group therapy class targeting the improvement of social skills for young students by
teaching the concepts of Social Thinking® developed by Garcia-Winner. Social thinking is a necessary
precursor to the use of social skills. For many, this is an intuitive process, but for others it is anything but
natural. Often, intelligent, language-proficient students struggle to learn the nuances of social
communication and interaction. This class teaches perspective taking (Theory of Mind), how our own
minds work, how behavior affects the way others respond, listening skills, eye contact, joining a group,
making conversation, reading nonverbal cues, and more. Therapy sessions are led by licensed and certified
Speech Pathologists who have received training in Social Thinking.
Social language groups are typically available for ages 6 to 12. Classes meet once or twice weekly for 60
to 90 minutes each and will be formed based upon participants’ requests and availability. Groups are
created based on age and function. Each participant is individually screened to ensure the most beneficial
group placement.
