      <image:title>Our Services - It all begins with an idea.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Services &amp; Approach - Our Services &amp; Approach</image:title>
      <image:caption>The groups and services at Kids Together, LLC are provided by a unique group of licensed clinical social workers who offer a nurturing, innovative, and fun learning environment.  The majority of the social skills groups are led concurrently by two therapists who plan interventions and discuss the progress of each participating child.  It is our belief that this team approach increases each child’s likelihood for success, as it enables double the modeling, coaching, and guidance within the group’s social interactions.  Our therapists also collaborate with parents and any additional professionals involved in the child’s care plan (as requested.) The Kids Together philosophy is that a series of successful group experiences will ultimately lead a child to increased awareness of social skills and a boost in self-confidence.  Our team approach affords each child the benefit of professionals with expertise in different modalities, such as music, movement and sensory activities, mindfulness exercises, therapeutic games, team building and communication activities.  We integrate input from earlier group observations, parents, and any available school information in order to develop the most beneficial skill activities for each group session.  Our comprehensive approach extends to additional services if needed, such as individual sessions, sibling/family sessions, parent consultations, referrals and school observations.</image:caption>
