Sydney, Australia - Social Skills Group

[Guest guest]

Intensive Social Skills Groups for children 4 - 16 yrs

Speech Pathology has held social skills groups every

January and July for the last 5 years. Participating children are

carefully grouped by age and ability and range from those with specific

diagnosis's (e.g. Autism and Asperger's) to typically developing

children who are experiencing difficulty in developing social skills.

Curriculum is individually tailored for each group and covers areas such

as conversational skills, co-operative play, dealing with bullying, body

language, and making and maintaining friendships.

Time

The groups will run for 2.5 hrs a day for 4 days from 9.30am to

12 noon and from 1.00pm to 3.30pm.

Location

Lane Cove, Sydney

Referral

Children may be referred by ABA service providers, speech pathologists,

psychologists, medical practitioners, teachers or parents.

Follow-up

An optional five session follow-up group will be run every second

Saturday to maintain and extend those skills learnt in the intensive

groups.
