The Social Butterflies Club™ Social Skills Group

The Social Butterflies Club ™ was founded in 2004 by Rhonda Osisek M.S., CCC-SLP. Rhonda created this program for a few of her clients that were having trouble interacting at school. Rhonda developed a training program to allow others to learn to implement Social Skills Groups.

Here at Speech Connections we saw a need to provide direct instruction in pragmatic language during interactive group activities for children with a variety of needs. Pragmatic skills are the foundation to language skills and include eye contact, turn-taking, requesting information/objects, appropriate answering of “wh” questions, appropriate responses to greetings and recognizing verbal and nonverbal social cues.

Testimonials

"I have a 5 year old son. It was about 2.5 years ago that I noticed that his speech was not progressing. After contemplation, I set up a meeting with Speech Connections. We went in and met with Kathy Alter. She evaluated my son and determined that he was well below where he needed to be with his speech. We used Speech Connections for 2 years. The progress in my son has been amazing. He is almost caught up with his speech based on his age group. The foundations that Speech Connections provided is insurmountable and I will always be indebted to their service. My son no longer needs speech services but I would recommend anyone looking for help for their child to use this service. They are some of the best in Richmond". H.E., Richmond
