Girls Club is an inclusive enrichment group created to give young girls a fun and welcoming space to connect, create, play, and build friendships while being fully themselves. All girlies are welcome! We believe there is so much to learn from different personalities, perspectives, communication styles, sensory preferences, and ways of experiencing the world. Each gathering includes unique sensory experiences, hands-on art and creative projects, interactive stories and activities, and plenty of time to socialize and play with new and familiar friends. Through these shared experiences, girls can explore creativity, self-expression, connection, and an appreciation for what makes each person unique. Girls Club is open to the whole community! You do not need to be a current SLP Riley client to participate. We encourage you to share with friends, siblings, classmates, and other girlies who would enjoy joining us—the more perspectives we bring together, the more we can learn from one another!

We honor and support total communication, creating a space where all forms of expression are respected and encouraged. Teens in this group may: Benefit from additional time and support to express their thoughts and ideas Use multiple communication modalities throughout conversation Be building confidence initiating, maintaining, and repairing communication This group focuses on meaningful connection, self-expression, and helping teens communicate in ways that feel authentic and effective across real-life situations.
Please note: If your child primarily communicates using AAC, gestures, scripting, or benefits from extra processing time, modeling, and support across multiple communication modalities, we’d recommend specifically joining Total Communication Connect Club or Total Communication Teens. Our goal is to create groups where each child feels successful, supported, and genuinely comfortable communicating in their own way. Both groups are neurodiversity-affirming and connection-focused — they are simply designed to support different communication profiles and group dynamics.

A hands-on enrichment class that uses sensory exploration to make early learning concepts engaging and memorable. Students explore a variety of materials while learning and using new vocabulary related to what they see, feel, hear, and experience. Instructors model descriptive words and general language concepts such as size, shape, color, texture, quantity, location, and action words.
Through guided exploration, students are encouraged to describe observations, compare and contrast materials, make predictions, follow multi-step directions, ask and answer questions, and share their ideas with the group. Activities combine early language, science, creativity, and problem-solving concepts in a playful learning environment.
