Level 2: 9:00am - 1:00pm (limit 12 participants)
Level 2 are considered intermediate or advanced communicators. The individuals in this group are typically older (later elementary or middle school aged), however, younger individuals (early elementary aged) may be accepted into this group because they have mastered basic wants/needs/comments/protests and are ready for more advanced social communication. Many of these individuals already know their letters of the alphabet, recognize sound/letter correspondence, and have shown some ability to read or are already able to read. They may also be typing or spelling or have shown an interest in such skills. The literature for this group will be more advanced/longer books.
