Adventure Awaits!
Introducing a social skills enrichment group for kids ages 9-11 at Bright Light Language!
This group uses Critical Core, a table-top role-playing game designed to support pragmatic language.
“Critical Core invites children to enter a shared world of fantasy and social problem solving to build social confidence and empowers them to flourish socially on their own terms.”
Led by a speech-language pathologist, participants will adventure through a world of magic, mystery, and danger. They’ll work together as a team to solve puzzles, fight monsters and save the kingdom, all the while gaining valuable skills that can apply to real-world social situations.
The group is geared toward students on the autism spectrum. However, prospective students don’t need an official autism diagnosis to participate and the group is open to students with other diagnoses or circumstances that impact social communication.
Students who are a good fit for this group:
Are between the ages of 9-11
Have an interest in a fantasy setting (e.g., Lord of the Rings)
Are able to learn and understand rules to a new game
Are able to communicate independently
Are able to read and understand paragraphs independently
Are open to stepping outside their comfort zone :)
