Group Therapy & Classes
While there are many benefits to one-on-one speech and language therapy, group therapy can offer a different set of advantages. In group therapy, children will be learning, practicing, and developing alongside one another.
Social groups allow children to practice language and social communication skills, make friends, and experience the joy of playing with others.
One of the most profound benefits of group speech therapy is how realistic the environment is. As your child grows, they will be immersed in group social settings, such as a classroom, a playdate with friends, or a birthday party. In group therapy, children will have several communication components in an environment that mimics the real world.
Some of these social communication components include the following:
Social interaction
Verbal communication
Nonverbal communication
