The Cornerstone Therapeutic Program for Preschoolers offers intensive therapy in an educational playgroup for children 3 to 6 years of age. Small groups of 4 to 6 children participate in a two-hour playgroup that meets three times a week. It is co-led by an experienced child therapist and an early childhood education specialist. Families receive ongoing support and feedback.

The Cornerstone treatment approach uses a research-based method developed by Dr. Gilbert Kliman over 40 years ago that helps children with varied social, developmental and emotional problems, including those associated with autism spectrum disorders.

The program is funded in part by a grant from The Children's Psychological Health Center.
