Social Pragmatics LEGO® Group!
Thursdays 2:30 - 3:30pm
Thursdays 3:30 - 4:30pm
Fridays 3:30 - 4:30pm
Our Lego-Based Social Pragmatics Group offers children the opportunity to connect with peers through the exploration of creativity, architecture, mechanics, motors, and design. Through themed group activities and projects, children will work on solving problems, improve fine motor abilities and develop team working skills they can use in daily life.
This group will be led by Sean Patrick Walsh A.A.S. Sean first began working with children 8 years ago, as a teacher’s assistant at an elementary school, while earning a degree in Architectural Engineering. From there he became an after-school program instructor throughout several public and private schools on the north shore, teaching kids (K-6), engineering and physics concepts using LEGO. To better assist some of the children with special needs who joined these programs, he attended The Interdisciplinary Council on Developmental and Learning Disorders training on the DIR Floortime® model, earning his first certificate. As his passion for helping children grew, he connected up with The FUSE Program and Preschool in Lexington, MA, where he was trained in and applied Relationship Development Intervention® (RDI) and Social Thinking® strategies. There, he gained experience as a camp counselor, 1:1 aide, home provider and eventually a lead classroom teacher. While teaching in the preschool, he earned his second certificate in DIR Foortime® from the ICDL. He also currently co-runs the sports program SCORRE, working as coach. Sean joined Peer Projects Therapy from the Heart in the fall of 2015 and is now with us 20 hours a week running groups, seeing individual clients, and helping out in many ways behind the scenes. Look for our weekly quote board in the waiting room. This is just one of Sean's many contributions! Sean is thrilled to work and learn from the amazing staff and children he sees at PPTFTH.
