Dynamic, drama-based social competence groups specifically designed for children and adolescents. These groups harness the power of improvisational games to create a fun and engaging way to learn and practice essential social skills.
Our unique approach focuses on fostering meaningful connections, with a strong emphasis on cultivating relationship-building and friendship skills. Through the joy of improv games, participants can explore and develop in areas that are crucial for social interaction.
Key goals of our program include:
Enhancing perspective-taking abilities
Encouraging positive group interactions
Understanding and using body language effectively
And much more!
We believe that every individual has the potential to grow and thrive in social settings, and our drama-based groups provide the tools and support to help them succeed.
Join us on this creative journey to build confidence and social competence in a supportive and enjoyable environment.
Groups are led by Dr. Bianca Marro, and also include two co-facilitators. Participants are screened and grouped according to age and developmental level. Group size is typically 8-10 participants. Groups run for approximately 60 minutes and are held at the Setauket Neighborhood House.
The fall group for children and teens is priced at $800 for an 8-week session, and the cost for adults is $600 for the same duration. Sliding scale fees and out-of-network reimbursement options are available for those who qualify.
Our inclusive approach is crafted to meet you and/or your family at your current stage, offering compassionate support customized to each individual’s path.
