*  The program focuses on helping children and adolescents develop greater awareness and understanding of perspectives different from their own as a means for improving conversation skills, developing relationships with peers, and dealing with emotions and behaviors.  Younger children work on play skills as well as conversation skills.

*  Children will work with an Art Therapist and a Music Therapist to help facilitate expression of emotions.

*  The individual needs of participants are considered in the formation of groups so that those with similar abilities in language, cognition and social awareness are grouped together.  Groups are also clustered by age.  Three to eight children are assigned to a group.

*  Assessment occurs at the start of the session and brief progress reports are provided at the conclusion of each session.

*  Regular attendance is important
