Speech, Language and Hearing Screenings in Ghana

Dr. Deb Swain and her son, Nick, served on a two week mission with New Vintage church in Ghana, West Africa. Departing February 8, 2008, they visited orphanages and refugee camps where Dr. Swain performed hearing, speech and autism screenings while Nick taught children different sports and games. A summary of the mission will be included in the the Spring 2008 e-newsletter.

Social Skills Groups...

The Swain Center is preparing to launch an accelerated social skills group for the summer session. Our social skills groups are designed to facilitate social, pragmatic and play skills in a naturalistic setting and are open to children, ages 4-14, with social communication deficits. Social skills groups are especially beneficial for children that have been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, High Functioning Autism, PDD-NOS, Nonverbal Learning Disorder, or Semantic Pragmatic Disorder. If you would like more information about our social skills groups, please contact The Swain Center at (707) 575-1468.

E-Newsletter Launch

The Swain Center and The Listening Center are launching our very first e-newsletter! In order to conserve natural resources and share information regarding our services in a more convenient format, we are creating an e-newsletter to be emailed to clients rather than sending it through the post office. If you are interested in becoming a member of our e-newsletter mailing list, email us at info@theswaincenter.com and put "add to e-newsletter mailing list" in the heading.
We are excited to bring this new service to our clients and members of the e-community!
