Our Programs

Admissions & Programs

The Helping House offers a comprehensive array of specialized programs meticulously crafted to address the diverse needs of our children. Our commitment to providing individualized support and fostering holistic development shines through in each of our distinct offerings.

Programs

LEARN BY DOING

The Helping House is intentionally responsive to the needs of the community. Early intervention services are definitely needed, but so are educational services in the summer months, parent support and training, social skills groups for adolescents, and networking among young adults with neurodiversity. While our primary focus is early intervention, we have programs in other areas to meet the needs of Nacogdoches and surrounding areas.

Summer Clinic

As the warm weather beckons, our Summer Clinic becomes a vibrant hub of learning and excitement. Designed for children aged 3 to 10, this program offers an enriching blend of skill reinforcement and exploration. Through engaging activities and structured routines, we ensure that children continue to build upon mastered skills while being introduced to new concepts in a fun, social setting. Over the course of 8 weeks, our Summer Clinic becomes a beacon of growth and camaraderie, where children thrive and memories are made.

Day Program

Our Day Program stands as a cornerstone of support for children aged 18 months to 6 years old. With no official medical diagnosis required for enrollment, we welcome children of all backgrounds and abilities into our nurturing environment. Each day is thoughtfully structured to address the specific needs of every child, targeting early intervention skills such as toileting, communication, behavior management, and academics. By tailoring our program to the unique strengths and challenges of each child, we create a space where every individual can flourish and succeed.

Social Skills Group

In our weekly Social Skills Group, children ages 9 to 16 come together to embark on a journey of social growth and connection. Led by experienced facilitators, our group sessions provide a supportive platform for children to develop essential social competencies. From fostering cooperation and tolerance to honing manners and self-control, our curriculum is designed to cultivate meaningful interactions and friendships. Held on Monday afternoons during the school year, our Social Skills Group becomes a sanctuary of learning and laughter, where children build confidence and forge lasting bonds.
