About the Program 

Social Adventures is a weekly 60-minute social learning program tailored for young children with social communication delays. Led by a speech and language therapist and a board-certified behavioral analyst, Social Adventures employs a multidisciplinary approach. The program utilizes Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) to target the social use of language, play, and self-regulation in a group-based setting. 

Each week, participants embark on a new themed adventure, introducing a specific target skill in a fun, child-centered environment. To reinforce learning, children receive materials to support skill practice at home.
