NBI's SEDGE was created to provide an opportunity for friendship and social problem solving in a small group setting. All activities and exercises are designed to provide opportunities for positive interaction, and enjoyment, as well as to teach specific skills. These skills are embedded in fun games and activities. The group is coordinated by licensed psychologists. SEDGE meets weekly for eight weeks on Monday nights starting promptly at 6:15 pm. Parents are responsible for transportation and for providing relevant health information. Parents receive weekly modules with an outline of group goals and activities. This information can be used to support and reinforce your child’s participation in the group. There is a pre-test and post-test assessment of your child’s social skill development. We welcome your feedback and look forward to a great experience together. For children and adolescents in need of social skill development. This is a fee-required, closed group. Please contact Dr. Jason Spielman or other NBI staff for details.
