This program is designed for children (ages 3-6 years) who need help with communication and social skills. Children under the age of 3 may not attend. Free child care is available for siblings (registration required).
Join us for a play-based program designed to model and teach parents/caregivers strategies to improve their child’s social interactions, facilitate communication, and manage behavior in a positive way. This program is led by an Early Intervention Specialist in Behavior from the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities.

A minimum of 5 families must be registered per session in order for that session to be offered. Sessions will be cancelled by 10:00 am the day before if the minimum is not met. Please contact lauriedemchak@connectingforkids.org or 440-864-2372 with any questions.
Important Notes:
Cancellation/No Show Policy: As parents, we understand that things arise last minute and you may not be able to attend a session as planned. However, we do ask that you please email lauriedemchak@connectingforkids.org or call/text 440-864-2372 (including the day of the program) if you are unable to attend. We often have families on the waiting list that are able to attend last minute and we also need to report attendance to the organizations that provide funding for these programs. Therefore, it is helpful to have cancellation information. After three no shows a family will not be permitted to preregister and therefore will not be guaranteed a spot in the program. Thank you for your understanding.
