Sunday FunDay Program is for children 4-14 years old who have Pervasive Developmental Disorders: Autism, Aspergers and other developmental diagnoses.
This program is filled with enriched activities, such as arts and crafts, gymnastics, yoga, swimming and many more. The program utilizes sensory integration techniques, and ABA floor time model in order to create an effective environment for children and improve their socialization and recreational activities. Our physical activities will provide children with effective ways to build the child's interest level, offer a predictable schedule, teach tasks as a series of simple steps, actively engage the child's attention in highly structured activities, and provide regular reinforcement of behavior. Our staff will provide a creative and warm environment through establishment of playful rapport with your child. We will assist them in building various communication skills, engage in social interaction as well as utilizing effective techniques that will provide them with a more focused surrounding.
