Improv for Interaction social skills groups

Ages 5+

The "Improv for Interaction" program uses improvisation and role-play to practice social communication in a supportive, playful setting. Groups are organized by age (5-8, 8-11, 11-14, 14-17, plus 18+ and a women's group), and a Judaica group and a dating, friendships and boundaries group are also listed. The lead specialist is Sandy Abramson, a Registered Drama Therapist. Enrollment starts with a social skills intake form, then a free trial class, then coordination with the family's regional center service coordinator or Self Determination Program financial management agency. Funding is through regional centers (vendor PW7471, service code 028), SDP or private pay. Private-pay classes are billed weekly for each session attended.
