SOCIAL SKILLS IS BACK

This unique and transformative group meets on Saturdays from 11:30am until 1:30pm at our Center Slope location (310 7th Ave). The program has rolling admission and you can sign up to join at any point in the year.

PROGRESS THROUGH PLAY

When kids arrive we assist with their transition into the gaming space. Empowered with information collected from an intake questionnaires, our experienced staff connects with the students to review the goals for the session.

Once they’ve been acclimated and are ready to engage, a BGL “Dungeon Master” will join the group to lead them through a session of Dungeons & Dragons. This highly imaginative, story-telling game gives children a vehicle to exercise their social skills as they work together to overcome challenges.

This program is staffed exclusively with Manager-level team members with relevant experience and training, and has a student-to-staff ratio that’s nearly two-to-one. We’re all about personal attention on Saturdays!

During gameplay, our team will be on-hand for physical activity breaks, emotional support and to continually connect with your child on their goals.
