Social Accessibility™ GroupsThe Friendship Network offers two different styles of groups for children with social learning disabilities. Bigger Groups Bigger group rates: 10-week bigger groups cost $300, plus a one time $75 intake fee for new clients. Certain state agencies may reimburse some or all of these fees. Please contact us for more information. 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 3-6 participants per group. Mini GroupsGroup rates: 10-week mini-groups or parent-child groups cost $380.00, plus a one time $75 intake fee for new clients. Certain state agencies may reimburse some or all of these fees. Please contact us for more information. 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. Registration for all groups is on a first-come, first-serve basis, Many groups do have a waitling list. Please contact us for additional information.
