Social Skills Software Demo for Parents of Special Needs Children

Computers serve as a portal to endless strains of information, but there is one area of study that few people associate these machines with: social skills. Small Factory Productions is changing that paradigm with its new animation software program for children with special needs, ages five and older. 

On Thursday, April 24, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m., the arts and technology studio located at 560 River Road, Suite C in Fair Haven, NJ will host an Open House, allowing children and their families to experience the software at no cost. 

The proprietary software, developed by Small Factory's Chris Dudick and Speech Therapist Bernadette Mullen, brings together an unlikely pair: computer games and the acquisition of social skills. It is the keynote of Small Factory Productions’ Social Skills Program, which gives children — both on and off the autism spectrum — the opportunity to enhance their interactions with other individuals.

The Social Skills Program is held at Small Factory Productions in Fair Haven and Speech Start in Hazlet. Classes take place on Wednesday and Thursday, and each session costs $50. Insurance may cover the costs of the course. 

Registration for the Open House on April 24 is requested as space is limited. 

Call 732-212-1088 to register and with questions.
