Registration for all groups is on a first-come, first-serve basis, Many groups do have a waitling list.

Bigger groups are for children with High Functioning Autism, Aspergers's Disorder, PDD, or Learning Disabilities. These groups are for extremely verbal children who are fairly socially independent. There are 3-5 participants per group.

Mini groups are typically music-based and are offered to children with High Functioning, Autism, Asperger's Disorder and PDD who have emerging social skills or children who benefit from a smaller group environment. These groups begin with 2 children and then a 3rd or 4th participant may be added.

NOTE: Mini-groups are not necessarily for lower-functioning children. Group readiness, temperament, learning style, ability to accept feedback etc. are all considered.

Please contact us for additional information.
