Group Programs & Events

At Irvine Therapy Services, we believe that growth happens through connection, curiosity, and meaningful play. While individualized therapy is a powerful way to support children and families, we also know that many skills develop best in shared experiences—through peer connection, movement, creativity, and joyful participation.

Our Programs & Events Hub was created to offer families additional opportunities that complement individualized therapy by emphasizing group connection and real-life social participation. These experiences are designed to support confidence, communication, flexible thinking, and social engagement in a supportive environment where children can feel safe, connected, and successful.

As our community grows, these offerings continue to evolve based on the needs we see, the interests of the children we serve, and the specialized passions and expertise of our therapists. Whether your child is joining a structured program, a special interest club, or a seasonal camp or event, our goal remains the same: to create supportive spaces where children feel empowered to connect, participate, and experience joy.

Explore Our Offerings

Below you’ll find our current opportunities organized into three categories. When sessions are available, families can click to learn more, register, and reserve a spot.

  1. Programs
    Programs are structured offerings that run in cycles and provide consistent opportunities for children to build confidence, connection, and participation within a group setting. While each program has a unique focus, our overall emphasis is on social engagement, belonging, and joyful learning alongside peers.
  2. Special Interest Clubs
    Special Interest Clubs are designed around shared passions and play-based connection. These groups support social engagement, collaboration, communication, and flexible thinking through activities that children naturally love.
  3. Seasonal Camps & Events
    Seasonal Camps and Events offer short-term opportunities for children to connect, explore, and participate in themed experiences. These offerings are often ideal for families who want a fun “first step” into group participation or a seasonal social experience.
