Social Language Groups
Fraser® Rehabilitation Services
Fraser Social Language Groups focus on enhancing and generalizing communication and social interaction skills for children who are demonstrating difficulties with social interactions, including children with autism spectrum disorders. Small group sessions are led by speech-language pathologists who specialize in language development and social language (pragmatics) disorders. Children are selected and matched to groups based on their current abilities and needs in the areas of functional communication, social-pragmatic skills and the ability to generalize skills across people, places and circumstances.
Social Language Groups are provided through Fraser Rehabilitation Services. Fraser provides comprehensive rehabilitation services for children with motor and sensory dysfunction, decreased functional and developmental skills, feeding and swallowing difficulties, and speech, language, and hearing disorders. Our rehabilitation department provides evaluation, consultation, and treatment services. These therapy services are provided with an interdisciplinary approach and each child’s goals and activities are individualized, based on strengths, challenges, and motivations. Fraser therapists collaborate with parents, caregivers, and teachers to maximize results.
