Talk, Play, Learn Communication Groups
Where: UCP of Orange County, Life Without Limits Pediatric Therapy Center
908 Roosevelt, Suite 100, Irvine
When: Wednesday or Friday from 11:30am-1:00pm (1½ hours)
Who: Children who have communication needs ages: 2 ½ years to 4 ½ years
Why: This group program is designed for children who are aging out of their current group program (turning 3 years old) or are scoring too high to receive Regional Center funding. Many children may benefit from peer-to-peer interaction in a small group environment. A traditional child care or preschool program may be overwhelming for some children who have communication challenges and social-emotional, adaptive, physical or cognitive delays. This center-based communicative program utilizes a child focused play-based approach with parent education provided. Therapists will stimulate language, communication and development through play, routines, and multi-modality cues while preparing children for successful participation in preschool or other group setting. Each group is led by a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, Speech Pathology Clinical Fellow (CFY), or Speech-Language Pathology Assistant. Occupational therapy and Physical therapy observation and consultations are provided if needed. Additional assistance may be provided by classroom aides, experienced volunteers and parents. The ratio of adults per child will be 1:5.
Participation in this group will help children with:
- Increasing language comprehension (receptive language)
- increasing productive vocabulary (expressive language)
- increasing attending behaviors
- increasing intelligible speech
- increasing the pre- and co-requisite skills related to language content (i.e. pragmatics) including taking turns, referencing, and regulating
- developing preliterate and emerging literacy skills
- developing social skills that assist in developing positive peer relationships
- improving self-help skills
- gross and fine motor exploration
Fees: $100 per month for 4 sessions, payable to UCP-OC

Free Cell Phone and Service for Those on SSI
Free cellphones for Californians earning less than $15,000
Effective, Mar. 6, 2013
California residents who receive Supplemental Security Income, food stamps, Medi-Cal and other public assistance or who earn less than $15,000 per year can receive free cellphones and service as of this week. A federal program designed to help homeless and other needy people connect with family and friends, housing programs and potential employers kicked off Monday across the state.
The phone giveaways have been approved by the state’s Public Utilities Commission, and Assurance Wireless is spearheading the program. The Lifeline Assistance program is funded through contributions by telephone companies to the Universal Service Fund. Companies can recoup part of their contributions through fees charged to paying customers.
Roughly 4.6 million California households, including 200,000 from Sacramento, could be eligible for the Lifeline program, based on estimates from Assurance. Those who qualify will get basic cellphones, plus 250 text messages per month, said spokeswoman Jayne Wallace.
To apply, Californians must first request a phone from Assurance Wireless by calling (800) 395-2171 or visiting assurancewireless.com. Once the paperwork has been submitted, customers will receive a free phone within 10 days. After receiving their phones, they will get an application from the state of California. They must return that form within 45 days along with proof of eligibility. If eligible, they can continue receiving free service.
