In Center Sessions
Our nautical centers are open Monday through Friday 8:00am 4:00pm year-round. After-care programs and Saturday sessions available at select locations.
Our school-like environment allows us to focus on social skills and communication skills.
Throughout the day, children alternate between private lessons and group activities (such as lunch time, circle time, play time, and social time). Each child has their own therapist at all times.
Each week, your child will enjoy sensory friendly activities like music, art, and fitness classes. Every other week, we take a field trip!
In center clients are not required to be vaccinated or potty-trained to attend. All SOS staff are thoroughly background checked and are CPR certified. SOS Staff are also certified to handle aggresive behaviors properly and safely.
Program Goals
Our goal is to teach valuable life skills that help our clients become productive and fulfilled adults in mainstream society.
SOS will create individualized programs to help your child develop through all the skills sets shown to the right.
Our behavior therapists will motivate changes in behavior through play and reward systems. Our two main goals are to help your child acquire new skills and reduce problem behavior.
Center Arrangements
While in our center, children are grouped according to their developmental abilities.
Crew Ocean

Crew Ocean may do most of the therapy in his own room. this group attends short group activities throughout the day.
Crew Voyagers
Children requiring substantial support.
Voyagers share a room with another child with a curtain between them. this allows them to acclimate to noise distraction.

Parent involvement is a requirement. Each week, we will provide a caregivers training session. We can help implement a routine that will ease your daily struggles. We will also help establish functional communication between you and your child.
