EARLY SOCIAL INTERACTIONS PROGRAM

Good communication is more than learning how to talk. Communication also includes interacting, noticing and engaging with those around them, and “hanging in” or persisting when faced with challenges or change. We call this “active engagement”. Research shows that young children with autism who have at least 25 hours of active engagement time a week do better in kindergarten than those who don’t.

EPIC is inclusive of a variety of activities that are designed to meet the child where they are at in terms of their ability to engage.
