Aspire’s next Alert Group will begin April 3. Registration is underway.
Dates: Tuesdays, April 3 through May 22
Time: 5 to 6:15 p.m.
At: Aspire Children’s Services, 1815 S. Wolf Road, Hillside
Cost: $320 for 8 weeks
The Alert Program is designed to help children recognize and regulate their arousal
levels. The program compares arousal to the speeds of a car engine: Sometimes it
runs on low; sometimes it runs on high; and sometimes it is just right.
During the group, children will explore activities for each of their sensory
systems to discover which activities help them run “just right” so they can
attend, follow directions, and engage with others.
The group is recommended for children who have adequate language skills, can
attend for at least 10 minutes, and are able to engage with peers appropriately.
At the end of each group, parents will be debriefed on the session and learn how
their child reacted to the various activities, as well as how to carry over the activities
into the home and school environment. At the end of the 8 weeks, each child will be
provided a list of activities that make them feel high, low, or just right.
Register for the Alert Group by March 28, 2012. Space is limited.
