URL: http://www.sensorybin.com/support-groups/sensory-buddies/
Eligibility: Accepts Medicaid and most insurances
Services Provided: "Our group begins with an opening circle that includes song, movement, and a “social check-in” for readiness to interact. Our primary activities are structured, yet free-flowing to meet the current needs of the group. The therapist (Music and/or OT) bring rhythm, sequencing, emotion sharing, self-regulation, and focus into the social exchanges. Group activities may include physical movement, sensory exploration, and project oriented tasks. Every child is encouraged to participate at their comfort level with the therapist modeling to enhance opportunities to gain greater skills.

We believe in promoting the primary “occupation” of children in an environment where small groups of children with different ability levels can come together to socialize and participate with one another. Social skills are enhanced through opportunities for stimulation to the motor, sensory, language, and emotional systems of the body. We agree that promoting social opportunities provides enhanced peer relations, self-regulation, self-confidence, flexibility, and body coordination for greater assimilation into other challenging daily experiences.

Our mission is to:
•Provide structure for gaining social skills: staying on topic, flexibility, listening, and emotion sharing
•Allow each child to express themselves individually
•Strive for relationship development
•Model positive social interactions with peers
•Promote a model for self-regulation among peers
•Improve total body awareness and coordination

Our intention for parents/caregivers:
•Learn strategies for emotional sharing and regulation during peer interactions
•Gain skills to promote social interactions in busy settings
•Collaborate with other parents and caregivers in the community
•Generalize social abilities of child to community settings"
