Peers are used to model appropriate social skills such as taking turns during a game, conversation skills and initiating appropriate play interactions. For the remaining time, the peer models will engage in age appropriate activities with others in the program. 

The summer program will meet Monday - Friday from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm on a weekly basis with date options ranging from May 30-August 4.

Our Elkhart, IN, location, BACA Hart, will have availability for its Sprouts program Fall 2017! 
Connect with BACA Hart's Clinical Director, Tracy Harrison, for more information. 

BACA's Sprouts is for neurotypical learners and clients in need of priming for a regular preschool environment. The programming is research based and state of the art. Sprouts is flexible in regard to the needs of the clients and allows opportunity to rehearse targeted skills throughout the day. The program is supervised by nationally known Ph. D's with an eye on developmental milestones. The goal is to prepare clients for the natural classroom environment through social play activities, academic work and group lessons. The program allows neurotypical peers to strengthen skills in acceptance, tolerance and understanding of differences.
