Children’s Special Services, LLC Newsletter
Fall 2010
Welcome BACK after a hopefully relaxing summer!! Here at CSS we were busy with programs at PACE Academy (our 9th year there!!) and St. Martin’s Episcopal Schools.
As well as programs in our Clinic.
So now it is….
Back to school time and lots of happenings at CSS to share!!
Our US trademarked social skills group, POP™, Personal Options and Preferences™ is starting October 6th and goes for 7 consecutive Wednesdays from 4-5:30 at our Dunwoody Clinic.
I call it our “friends group with an educational focus” and I look forward to sharing this time with all of you. Using 2 OTR’s and Registered Music Therapist, POP™ is as much about making friends with yourself as it is making friends with others!
School is the place where children learn to compromise, exchange thoughts, ideas and feelings and the basics of social navigation. This group is about how to be your own best advocate without being aggressive; how to stick up for yourself without sticking out, it is about listening and not just hearing; it is about getting the job done in the time allotted, but most of all it is about self-awareness and confidence.
We only accept 6 children so register early to reserve your child’s spot!! Download the application form and fax or email it in today!!
We welcome referrals, so if you know someone who might be interested please have them give us a call!!
There is a new Blog on the web!!!
LDmadeEasy.blogspot.com It is full of information about children with special needs, for families who care for the children and professionals who work with both!
It is hopefully an opportunity to share thoughts, address concerns and be a resource to those seeking answers, wanting to vent frustrations, or get direction on how to get to the right professional.
It is my intention to make this a time for us to “meet” and get to know more about our children.
The Modified Developmental Preschool™ is still evolving. To better accommodate the families with these children the program has been revised. It will operate from 9-11:45 with 2 and 3 morning options. It will be supervised and structured by an OTR and will as the program progresses have once a week Registered Music Therapy and Speech Therapy embedded in the program.
Using Head Start developmental goals and Nayce approved curriculums, children will get the academic basics, as well as addressing their sensory-perceptual needs met!
MATH AND SCIENCE TUTORING
NOW RESUMING: Provided by GA Tech Professor David Orloff, PhD (retired) Mechanical Engineering. Have your child tutored by an award-wining professor in all math subjects, physics and chemistry.
Please call the Children’s Special Services, LLC office at 770-394-9791 for more information.
I look forward to hearing from you. It is my honor to work with your children, and you.
These children are often on difficult paths, and I take seriously my role to smooth out some of the “developmental bumps” for them.
Thoughtfully,
Susan
