The Clubhouse is the Behavioral Intervention Association's (http://www.bia4autism.org) after-school program. Once a week, children between the ages of 5 and 12, who have communication and social challenges, meet and engage in fun activities to practice different social skills. The Explorers focus on skills such as staying with the group, greetings, turn taking, participating independently in activities, and brief exchanges with peers. The Adventurers focus on skills such as initiating and maintaining conversations, perspective taking, and negotiating with peers.

Games Galore: Obstacle Course "Rock Salt" (The Explorers)

  • Warm-up game “Listen & Move”: We continued to practice our new game "Listen & Move." Everyone did an excellent job listening to the music and performing the corresponding movements. One of our favorite movements is to pretend to gallop like a horse. 
  • Snack Time: We all love snack time at Clubhouse. Today, we practiced requesting and taking over group responsibilities such as handing out cups to our friends.

  • Obstacle Course: Students partnered up to go through an obstacle course. They carried a small cup with rock salt and filled a tube with the salt. Everyone was very careful not to spill the rock salt. Our favorite stomp rockets were placed at the end of the obstacle course.
