Our social skills and community integration programs, Buddy Club and My Place are wrapping up their 11-month curriculum this week. The groups have been participating remotely for the past several months and, for the first time, were able to see each other in person from a distance. Group members had the option to meet in the parking lot at PTN for their end of year celebration in a safe and socially distanced environment. Group leaders facilitated car decorating competitions, mask competitions, show and tell, socially distanced dance parties, and much more. Members, parents, and leaders were all smiles as they said good-bye to their friends and peers!!

We are currently enrolling for "It Takes Two to Talk", a 10-week online program specifically for parents of young children (18 months to five years of age) who have language delays. In a small group setting, parents learn practical strategies to help their children communicate and interact during every-day activities. It Takes Two to Talk is a popular evidence-based program developed by The Hanen Centre. Our new Telepractice model allows parents statewide to play a significant role in their child's early language intervention. Enroll by July 15, 2020 and save $100! For more information, visit our website (link in bio) or contact Kim Santaite, M.S., CCC-SLP at 310.328.0276 x313 / kimberlys@ptnmail.org.

Meet Matthias or “MatMat”! He just turned eight years old, and he wanted to share this photo with everyone. He has been a part of the PTN family for over six years, starting in our early intervention, Leaps and Bounds program. He recently graduated from physical therapy in March and continues to receive occupational and speech therapy. When at PTN, MatMat's favorite activity is making and completing an obstacle course while he's pretending to be Spiderman. He also loves to play chef and make pretend dinners. Happy Birthday to MatMat and all the PTN children who celebrated Safer At Home birthdays!
