An exciting social skills project was launched in the Fall of 2012. The project is called, Value-Play™ for children Pre-K through 6th grade and High5-Time™ for 7th-8th graders and High School Children.
Value-Play / High5-Time are based on a Social Skills Curriculum that has grown over the past 11 years from Todd Kellogg starting up and running social skills programs at agencies, school systems, and most recently under PositiveFamilyBehavior, LCC. Over 160 different strategies have been narrowed down to a 81+ skills that are taught through a visual lesson plan, role-modeling, practice and generalization. See the Social Skills Curriculum. And for an explanation of Value-Play™and High5-Time™ and how these programs are unique, please see the following video:
Value-Play / High5-Time™ were launched at the Wilton Office located at 196 Danbury Road (Rt. 7) - just 2 miles from Westport and Norwalk. Simply call or email Todd Kellogg to arrange for a brief intake and to sign-up. Every effort will be made to match your son or daughter with other similar peers to form the best possible group.
The different groups that we offer:
Traditional Social Skills Groups for Elementary and Middle School at the Wilton office, focusing on conversation-based skills, social awareness, social accountability, cooperative engagement (play for younger children), and social problem solving. Such groups will run for about 10 sessions.
Special Topic Groups focusing on Executive Functioning; Building up Perseverance; Problem Solving and Coping Skills; and Managing Social Anxiety. Each Special Topic Group will run for about 4 to 6 sessions in the Wilton office.
Social Skills and Fitness Groups: These groups will occur at the New Canaan office utilizing a fitness routine designed by a certified functional movement trainer who works with College and NFL players who also has a background in special education and ABA training. Part of the group time will be on learning fitness routines while using conversation and cooperative engagement skills. These groups will also have a community piece during some of the sessions utilizing a local park and walking trails, local shops, etc. The groups will be held on Saturdays.
Teen and Young Adult Community-based Groups on Saturdays going to various locations in Fairfield County. The teen-community group will have about 6 sessions over the Fall leading up to the December Holiday Season.
HS Groups meeting in the Wilton office, coupled with planned community experiences to practice previously taught social and executive functioning skills.
