WonderKids

WonderKids is a social skills group which provides therapeutic and social relationship interventions designed to teach and enhance age- appropriate social skills.  The goal of WonderKids is to increase independence, social skills, self-regulation and coping skills while encouraging clients to understand the intentions, motives, emotions and perceptions of others.  Each client will receive an individualized treatment plan developed and reviewed by their child’s clinical treatment team, including parents, family or other service providers.  WonderKids is a step down from traditional Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services (BHRS) or other intensive behavioral health service which typically will teach the pre-requisite skills necessary to benefit from a  social skills group.  WonderKids may also be used as a stand along service or as an appropriate part of an intensive behavioral health discharge plan.

Please note, Wonder Kids is designed for children affected by Autism Spectrum or Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder Diagnoses who are not in need of higher level of care or one on one support.  This includes a high amount of TSS.  If child has a TSS, TSS hours need to be minimal and in the process of decreasing towards elimination.  The fading of TSS needs to be demonstrated by the Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services (BHRS) team.
