theme that also promote skills in such target areas such as conversation, non verbal communication, perspective taking. Through organized games and recreational activities, arts and crafts activities, role

increased social skill practice. Children will earn tokens as reinforcment for successful interactions and making good choices and will be
able to exchange tokens for prizes at the reward store.
