Social Communication Groups
There are various high-quality social communication groups that are led by Luna, an experienced and skilled speech-language pathologist who has created social groups for 20 years.
Small, personalized groups meet in a natural, relaxed setting, such a backyard or community park. There are often siblings and peers who participate to support the group, as well as youth assistants. There are various groups for clients receiving myofunctional therapy and even “Open Myo Gyms” to drop in and practice with different peers.
Groups vary by needs such as:
The Girls Group
The Ninja Boys
Tweens Talking
Recess Boot Camp
Little Spittles & Motor Mouth Myo Groups
Breathing for Athletes (M.S. & H.S students)
SP.OT ON Social Groups and Summer Camps
SP.OT ON stands for speech, occupational therapy, and oral-motor needs. These social skills groups and summer camps are led by Luna DeCurtis, M.A., CCC-SLP, and Tami Pallott, OTR/L—two highly experienced and compassionate therapists, each with extensive experience and private practices.
Luna and Tami teamed up in 2023 to offer a unique program that helps children build social language and interactions, while learning everyday functional skills they need to connect with peers and adults.
Their combined expertise ensures a well-rounded, supportive environment where every child can thrive, and parents can gain new knowledge with every group.

Her pacing was excellent and motivated my daughter by helping her feel successful. The support she provided to me as a parent made implementing practice realistic.
Luna is exceptionally experienced, personable and perceptive.
