## 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.

## Expressive & performing arts classes

Up to age 21

Theater, music and media-based classes in which neurodivergent, autistic, disabled and non-disabled participants create and perform together, building communication, self-esteem and life skills. Class names include Express Yourself, Triple Threat, Musical Makers, Company Class, I Can Do That and Miracles in Action, and private lessons are available. Teaching artists include actors, music directors and a music therapist, using methods developed by founder Elaine Hall. A 2014 Cal State Northridge study funded by the NEA concluded that the inclusive theater model improved communication and social interaction in youth on the autism spectrum. Funding is regional center (vendor PW8741, service code 008), Self Determination Program or private pay. At the start of a term families enroll through MindBody; mid-term, an intake form leads to a free trial class.
