Explanations of our Great Summer Programs that are fun and skill-building!

Write Incredibly Now TM (W.I.N. TM ) is our exclusive U.S. trademarked handwriting program! (Which means it does not exist anywhere else!) It breaks manuscript into three forms and cursive into four using colors instead of directional cues, as well as gross and fine motor games.

We also have a trademarked a social skills group, Personal Options and PreferencesTM, P.O.P.TM that uses a speech therapy concepts (such as auditory processing, articulation, and listening skills) and two occupational therapists (motor processing, organization, task skills), and a certified and registered Music Therapist, who teaches the children in hand manipulation, presentation skills, motor memory, etc.). Combined we are working on the ability to respond to ambient cues, group sharing, leadership, peer teaching as well as responses to bullying, being left out, how to make friends, etc.

We also have a Summer Sensory Experience using Dr. Greenspan's Floortime approach. The children participate in hiking, rock climbing, swimming and (non-competitive) games. I have hired Chris Zelski, of Learning on the Log, to assist us with this program. Children work on coordination, group interaction, problem-solving and frustration tolerance while experiencing novel activities. This program is off-site at various locations in Dunwoody/Roswell area. Drop-off and pick-up is at locations, please click here to view maps to all locations.
