This group is offered for children ages 2-4 who are learning to talk, already talking or just needing extra practice talking to their peers. The group begins with a ‘circle time’ and oral motor ‘wake up’ time and then the children get to practice their skills! Sensory activities are incorporated into the group, and there are many activities for the children to interact with peers their same age.
