Parents! Welcome to Main Line Social Club! A place for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders to practice socializing with similar-aged peers under the guidance and scaffolding of two speech and language pathologists, while having fun! Our club will meet out in the community on Sunday afternoons and could include bowling, a scavenger hunt, and pizza making.

The goal of Main LIne Social Club is to provide opportunities for kids to hang out, build connections, and gain confidence while doing something enjoyable. Following each session, parents will get feedback and suggestions from our leaders to help guide more practice out of the sessions.

Main Line Social Club will be led by Ami Van Dine, M.S. and Stacy Axelman, SLPD and will meet October 1, 8, 15, and 29, 2023 from 4-6 PM. The cost is $400 and includes the four sessions and weekly feedback. Parents are responsible for the cost of an activity which will not exceed $20 per week.

[To inquire, please contact Ami Van Dine at amivandine@comcast.net]

Don't forget the easy trick of messing up on purpose! Getting silly sometimes yields more language than if you planned an entire session. Shout-out to PlaySpark for this ice cream themed green screen fun!

Sneaking in maximum productions while having fun... these kids don’t even realize they are doing work! 🙌 🙃 @ Axelman Speech, Language, and Learning Group

when you don’t have a printer or a laminator, you draw stuff and stick packing tape on top 🤣

Today we are using our ⚡️magic⚡️playdough to “search” for shapes, ABC’s, and our articulation sounds we are working on. Simply set your green screen color to the color of your playdough, and the magic happens! stretch it, roll it, hide it in your hands ✨😄 @ Axelman Speech, Language, and Learning Group
