Cheyne Ranch Social Skills Class

We are excited to offer a 6-week Social Skills Class on Thursday mornings this spring! This program will be co-led by Julie Gerhard (speech therapist) and Sarah Canfield (occupational therapist). Children will work together in groups to solve problems on the farm. Interactions will be guided by therapists to facilitate social interactions, planning, organization skills and presentation skills.

The right set of social skills will make it easier for a child to make friends, share with their classmates, and cooperate in social environments. Well-developed social skills also lead to improved cognitive abilities and better mental health.

**participants must be able to independently and safely follow directions within a group setting for the safety of the participants and animals.
