23.01.2022 The social skills groups we offer, called Kids connecting socially, is a unique program that is ongoing and play based. There is a strong focus on self awareness and sense of self. The structure of the program remains the same each week however, content and delivery will vary including; Direct instruction, visual strategies, social stories, incidental and explicit teaching. We use a range of tools and resources including many from Alex Kelly's TALKABOUT program and Jed Baker's social skills resources. Areas covered in the group include self awareness ( learning about self and others), everyday social skills, self esteem, verbal communication, body language, play skills, assertiveness and play skills.
