Stay & Play

Stay & Play Integrated Social Skills Group is a program that was developed by a KidsAbility™ Occupational Therapist (OT), and a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) in Guelph. This successful program has been running in the Guelph area for over 10 years and recently was introduced to our Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo sites.

 

Eligibility:

  • Children must be referred to Stay & Play by an OT or SLP to be eligible to participate in this group
  • Children must be 3–5 years old
  • Children must have significant social communication needs, who would benefit from a structured intervention group
  • Families are encouraged to bring a peer/playmate for their child and to invite their child's childcare or school teacher
  • Children must be clients of either KidsAbility™ , clients of St. Joseph’s Health Centre in Guelph or a client of Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA).

  • Guelph-Wellington - St. Joseph’s Health Centre (100 Westmount Road)
  • Kitchener - KidsAbility™ (65 Hanson Avenue)
  • Waterloo - KidsAbility™ (500 Hallmark Drive)

 

To Register:

There is no cost for this program, but to participate, a child must be referred by their therapist.
