Evon is back at it with this incredible group class designed to help improve your child's ability to engage and play with peers. Activities will be focused on increasing opportunities to express emotions and feelings appropriately, learn rules and expectations, increase self-esteem, improve cooperation and conversational skills, increase attention and expand play interests!

FEEDING FUN
(3-6 years old) |
Do you have a picky eater? Is feeding time stressful? Do you spend time making different meals for your child? Is eating out a nightmare? The good news is....feeding class works! The goal of this class is to turn eating into a fun activity. We explore how foods look, smell, taste and feel. By taking the fear out of foods, we find the children will experiment with them and eventually add them to their diets! Private sessions are also available and may be covered by your BCBS PPO plan. Call for any questions.
