Social Development Groups
We offer social competencies groups, based on the Social Thinking Methodology ® (created by Michelle Garcia Winner), to children with social learning challenges. Sessions are aimed at more than just increasing social skills – we support the development of awareness and the understanding of why we work on certain social behaviours. During the group we teach children the underlying thinking behind our social behaviours, and work on developing key ingredients to successful social interactions. All our groups aim to coach children around social issues as well as building social awareness and social smarts.
Our team has extensive experience in child development and works from an attachment-based framework. We use this combined knowledge to inform our approach. Our groups are based on a naturalistic developmental and systemic approach, aiming to support children and their families. Group treatment allows us to provide high quality support for children and education to families at an affordable cost – we believe in breaking down barriers for families to receive the help they are looking for.
