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.
