Social Skills — Ascent Educational Consulting

LEGO CLUB

Building Bricks and Relationships

LEGO Club is a fun filled group that fosters communication and improved social skills through play based learning. Kids won’t even realize all of the skills they are gaining as they venture through structured and free build activities. They will be members of a small group with other builders around their age that allow a safe place to engage, resolve conflict, and find common interests. Based on an evidence-informed program, Ascent brings LEGO Club to our area.

LEGO Robotics Social Skills Club

Building Robots and Relationships

By partnering with Centreville Robotics team, we are able to bring a LEGO robotics program that incorporates LEGO building, coding, and tackling specific tasks all while growing socially. Through the use of explicit teaching, natural social interactions, and the need to communicate in order to complete the project, our team of group leaders will help your child learn and fine tune their social skills. This group is aimed at children in 4th-10th grade, but please reach out if you feel your child would benefit and they are outside of this range.

The Art of Friendship

Connecting over Crafts

The Art of Friendship social skills group is geared towards girls between ages 7-13. While the group uses their creativity to venture through the art process, they will also learn social skills to improve their relationships. We will have weekly projects that aim to stretch their creative and social abilities within a safe space for girls to open up and grow.

Friendship Explorers

Navigating Friendship Skills

Our Friendship Explorers social skills group is geared towards children who are in the transition to school age (3-6). Through explicit instruction, modeling, teachable moments, and feedback, our leaders help shape the social skills of our youngest. Kids will travel through different “lands” and receive stamps in their friendship passport as they conquer new skills, such as turn taking, active listening, resilience, solving problems, and more!
