Fauquier Health hosts Pediatric Social Skills Camp

Thank you to everyone who participated in our week-long Pediatric Social Skills Camp! There were 21 participants in two groups, each participating one hour daily, Monday through Friday. The program was planned and supervised by Fauquier Health Rehabilitation Services personnel:

  • Heather Smith, Speech Language Pathologist
  • Alicia Lutman, Occupational Therapist
  • Sherrie Beres, Occupational Therapist
  • Kristine Trimble, Physical Therapist

Activities included:

  • Introductions
  • Taking turns
  • Asking for what you need
  • Sharing
  • Measuring your feelings
  • Following instructions and schedules
  • Working together as a team
  • Show and Tell
  • Recognizing others for their accomplishments

The children had a great time and made new friends while learning appropriate social interaction skills. Information was shared with parents on the last day of camp to assist children in carryover of these skills at home and in the community.
Thanks again to all our participants. We hope you had fun while learning some useful new skills!
