​About BEE Social ​
​Our Goal​
Information for your Regional Center:
Provider: Builders of Eloquence and Engagement, LLC
Activity: Social Recreational
FMS: Community Interface Services
BEE Social, offered by Builders of Eloquence and Engagement, LLC, empowers students with special needs to develop essential social and recreational skills. Our program emphasizes self-advocacy by allowing participants to select from a structured menu of engaging activities, including gardening, pretend play, storytelling, yoga, music, board games, creative writing, and more! They are all designed to build confidence and social competence in a supportive environment.
Determining Your Child's Needs​​
When approaching your Regional Center Service Coordinator, you'll need to clearly articulate how many sessions per week would benefit your child. Consider these factors when determining the appropriate frequency:
-
Your child's current social skills development level.
-
Specific social-emotional goals in their Individual Program Plan (IPP).
-
Current opportunities for peer interaction outside of BEE Social.
-
Your family's schedule and transportation capabilities.
-
Your child's stamina and attention span for structured activities.
