Camps and Groups
Crozet Speech and Learning Center (CSLC) offers a wide variety of programs: camps, classes, remediation and therapy for children in our community, ages 2-18. Our programs are created and led by Speech Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists and Educators with vast experience of instructing children in creative ways. While our classes emphasize fun that’s shared with peers, our priority is to provide individualized and small group instruction to each child. All programs have a foundation of literacy and language and are a unique feature of our center.
CSLC staff will help children build specific skills while participating in: arts and crafts, music, story time, creative play and simple cooking. Many of these indoor and outdoor activities are geared to keep kids excited and fascinated while learning.

Friendship & Social Skills Group
(1x week/ 6 weeks) $45 per session
Friendship and the ability to make and keep friends is an important part of a child’s development. However, making and keeping friends can be challenging. It requires skills in connection, leading and following, handling rejection, assertiveness and awareness of ones own behaviors and the effect on others. For some children these skills come naturally, but for others it can be more difficult. However, friendship skills can be learned. This group will focus on the following:
- Understanding the qualities of a good friend
- Helping each child to understand their strengths and challenges as a friend
- Identifying and expressing feelings
- Initiating play and social interactions
- Exploring non verbal skills such as facial expressions, body language and personal space
- Learning how to listen while also effectively asserting oneself
