Help with mommy and me class (need language based for speech delay)
I spoke with my son's SLP today and she strongly recommends a mommy and me for him starting for the summer. She did say it really should be language based, for the life of me I have googled and can't really find anything. She doesn't think a gymboree type thing will help b/c he is speech delayed. Any ideas? Thanks!
Oh...I'm in Levittown so I guess anything around Wantagh, East Meadow, North Bellmore, Bethpage, Hicksville would be great...

What about a music together class? I know a bunch of us moms on here take their DC. There is a lot of focus on singing and different sounds our DC can make.

I would check out your local library. Many of them offer a large array of classes for babies/kids.

Check with your local churches and preschools, some offer mommy & me.

Hi! I'm a music therapist and know that the Rebecca Center for Music Therapy offers a mommy and me like program (They are located in Rockville Center at Molloy)...I don't work there so I'm not sure of enrollment or when the groups are held, but they are definitely worth looking into. The Rebecca Center is an amazing place and they do incredible work! Their website is www.therebeccacenter.org
You could also check with local special education/early intervention preschools I believe some offer weekend programs...and Music Together is a fantastic organization as well-their programs are very similiar to work that a music therapist would do (using music and instruments to increase socialization, fine/gross motor and speech).
Good luck!

All About Kids in plainview, had a mommy and me program that was speech delayed based. I don't know if they still have it and if they take private or if it is just EI/Cpse children
