Social Skills Groups

All programs feature:

Social skills groups are designed for children who have good communication skills (have spontaneous speech using phrases and sentences), can work in a group setting with minimal adult support, and have no significant interfering behaviours. Applicants will go through a screening process to ensure program is a good fit.
