Group Therapy

Learning and Growing Together

Group Therapy at Little Tesla Pediatric Therapy provides children with opportunities to practice social, emotional, and communication skills in a fun, supportive environment.

Led by licensed therapists, these small-group sessions promote connection, teamwork, and confidence while reinforcing each child’s individual goals.

Why Group Therapy Matters

Children learn best through interaction and shared experiences. Group sessions create a natural setting for developing skills that can’t always be replicated one-on-one - such as cooperation, empathy, and problem-solving.

Our groups are designed to:

  • Build friendships and improve peer interaction
  • Encourage turn-taking, sharing, and teamwork
  • Develop emotional awareness and self-regulation
  • Strengthen communication and conversation skills
  • Support generalization of skills learned in individual therapy

Types of Group Programs

1. Social Skills Groups

For children with autism or social communication challenges who need structured support in connecting with peers.

2. Kindergarten Readiness Programs

Preparing preschoolers for school routines, transitions, and classroom behavior through play and group learning.

3. Emotional Regulation Groups

Helping children identify, express, and manage big emotions using movement, art, and sensory strategies.
