Services
Written By Robert DeSimone

Here at Playright in Huntersville, North Carolina, we are working to develop social-emotional-cognitive groups for children of all age ranges. A sensory-safe place where they can be guided as they learn to understand the subtleties of building and maintaining friendships. 

Groups are tailored to provide similar-aged peers an opportunity to practice the thoughts, skills, behaviors, and strategies needed to understand their own emotions as well as those of their peers as they engage in their daily interactions with others. Groups focus on social, emotional, and cognitive skills through engagement in enjoyable activities, including the following.

  • Fiber Arts

  • Multi-Media Art

  • Mindful Movement, Balance, and Self Awareness

  • Drama and Theater Arts

  • Games

Each group builds on prior learning, and consistent attendance is highly recommended to gain the most from the experience. Groups run for 10 weeks and meet once weekly for 60 minutes. 

The curriculum includes:

  • Self Awareness and Regulation

  • Recognizing and coping with emotions

  • Conceptual learning: big picture thinking

  • Problem-solving and prioritizing

  • Executive functioning: planning, problem-solving, sequencing, and impulse control

  • Fundamental Social Skills

  • Social Initiation and Response Skills

  • Active Listening

  • Perspective taking & Getting Along With Others Successfully

  • Inferential learning: abstract, implied, and figurative language/communication

We are striving to form cohesive groups in which all members are within reasonably similar developmental levels. Contact us for more information and to discover if this would be a good fit for your child.

Does your child relate to any of the following? There is never enough time. I don’t know where to start. There is too much to do and it stresses me out. It’s too hard to concentrate. I wish I could get more done each day. If so, they may benefit from a tailored program to help them increase their ability to fully participate and function in their daily activities.

Visual perception refers to the process by which the brain interprets and makes sense of visual information from the eyes. When visual perception is impaired, it can affect the development of many functional skills, including recognizing and distinguishing visual information, accurately judging movements through space relative to other people or objects, difficulty discerning foreground from background, challenges with recalling visual details or sequences of symbols, difficulty reading, difficulty writing and drawing, challenges achieving independence with daily tasks.

Do you have trouble reading your child’s handwriting? Does your child avoid writing more than the absolute minimum? Do they struggle with opening containers and operating tools on a daily basis? Do they avoid wearing clothes with small buttons, belts, and tie shoes? Do they complain that they are all thumbs when it comes to dexterous activities?
