Building early communication and teamwork skills through fun, cooperative activities.
Service Description
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Team Builder Communication Lab Jr. is a small-group summer program designed to help young students strengthen the early social communication skills needed to interact, play, and work with others. Through engaging games, movement activities, and cooperative challenges, students practice sharing ideas, taking turns, and working together with peers. Students participate in fun, structured activities that encourage them to communicate their thoughts, listen to others, and solve simple problems as a team. These experiences help children build the foundational communication and collaboration skills needed for successful classroom participation and peer interactions. The Team Builder Communication Lab Jr. is not therapy. It is an enrichment-based program designed for students who may or may not qualify for school-based services but would benefit from additional opportunities to practice communication and teamwork in a supportive small-group environment.
