About Social Lab

Social Lab is a small group designed for children ages 8 to 12 who are developing their regulation and connection skills with peers. Facilitated by our doctorate-level pediatric occupational therapists trained in the DIRFloortime approach, the group provides a supportive and engaging environment. Each week, children participate in hands-on sensory-motor and STEM-based activities, such as building, experimenting, and creating. Our therapists follow your child’s lead to support co-regulation and guide back and forth communication. By focusing on playful, shared experiences, we naturally foster collaboration, flexibility, and social problem-solving. We always emphasize the process over the final product, prioritizing emotional connection and meaningful peer engagement.
