Children are expected to attend every session (barring illness), as the sessions build on each other and group dynamics are an important component. The payment for this club is different from the others, and is $100 per week. If you have any questions about the new Emerge Clubs changes or payment options, please refer to our FAQ!
If your child is not attending therapy sessions at Emerge, we will be in touch with you to set up a brief free screening to determine if this program is a good match for your child.
