Questions

Does my child need a diagnosis?

No. We'll talk first to make sure the group fits.

Where is it?

Downtown Bethesda. Families get the address once their child is matched.

How much?

Founding families pay less for the first session. We'll send prices before registration opens.

Does insurance cover it?

No. It's a social group, and it's private pay. Plenty of kids come alongside speech or OT.

Do parents stay?

For the first Saturday, if you'd like. After that it's drop-off, and we'll text if your child needs you.

What if it's a hard morning?

It happens. We'll tell you how it went.

Get started

Tell us about your child. We'll match them with other kids for a group of 4-5.
