This program will include social communication and sensory motor activities in the sensory gym, games, art, and concepts from curriculums such as Social Thinking and Zones of Regulation through a neurodiversity-affirming lens.

Children are expected to attend every session (barring illness), as the sessions build on each other and group dynamics are an important component. You will not be reimbursed for missed sessions. If you have any questions about the new Emerge Clubs changes or payment options, please refer to our FAQ!

If your child is not currently 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.
