Facilitated Play Dates - Preschoolers

Unfortunately, for many children, the skills and capacities that serve as the building blocks for successful friendships do not develop naturally. I pair compatible children from my practice for play dates. During the play dates, we have the opportunity to work on each child's challenges in the context of a fun, warm, and safe environment. Children with social challenges usually have a history of "failure" in the social realm. In addition to developing specific skills, the play dates that I structure in my office are meant to help the child "heal" from these negative experiences.
