The Play Group
Friendship through Play
Testimonials
:
"The Play Group is one of the best things that have ever happened to our son Diego. I still remember the day when we first came to see Debby and Sandy for an assessment. Diego had zero social skills back then. He cried, he kept grabbing toys from the other kids, he was miserable because spending time with other children was something that he didn't enjoy. My husband and I were so sad and worried about Diego. We even thought that the Play Group was not going to take him as a candidate for therapy. But fortunately we were accepted, so Diego started therapies right away. I can't even tell you the transformation that Diego has experienced thanks to the magic that Debbie and Sandy do at the Play Group. They have a deep understanding of our children; they're smart, fun, engaging and positive. All of this, together with the great energy coming from the other children and parents has had a tremendous impact on our son. My husband and I are eternally.Grateful for what the Play Group has given to our son. It has changed his life and that means the world to us."

"I can't imagine where my child would be without The Play Group..."
"When my child first began with The Play Group, my child didn't know how to communicate with anyone in regards to staying in context with conversation, nor did she know how to raise her hand or to be reciprocal with play. After one year with The Play Group, my child is talking non-stop with the subject matter being discussed, plays reciprocally with her peers, and is able to access ANY type of curriculum (sports and leisure, educational, recreational). Without the intervention of The Play Group, my child would not be where she is! Well worth it! (for your child or teen)

"I have noticed an incredible difference"
"My son has been attending the Play Group and I have noticed an incredible difference in the quality of his life. Prior to attending The Play Group, my son struggled at school and didn't know how to play with his peers. It broke my heart to see him isolated. Debby and Sandy were able to teach him to have a conversation, gave him the techniques on how to join in and play and to form friendships. For the first time in his life, he has a friend! He is more confident in his skills and will request play dates!"

"....He has learned valuable skills...."
"Before the Play Group, my son was always alone on the yard during recess. He has been attending the Play Group and loves it! He has learned valuable skills to form friendships. Now he has regular weekly play dates that are successful and I am so proud of him! Now at recess, he always has a group of friends to play with. Thanks to Teacher Debby and Teacher Sandy!"
