Building Connections, Enhancing Communication
At LEAP Centre, we are excited to offer Social Skills Groups, an innovative program designed to foster social interaction and communication skills in children. Led by our experienced team of occupational therapists and speech therapists, these groups provide a supportive and fun environment for children to learn and practice essential social skills.
What Our Social Skills Groups Offer
Collaborative Learning: Children engage in group activities that encourage teamwork, sharing, and collaboration. These interactions are guided by our therapists to ensure a positive and inclusive experience for every child.
Communication Skills Development: Our speech therapists focus on enhancing verbal and non-verbal communication skills. This includes conversation techniques, understanding body language, and expressing emotions appropriately.
Play-Based Learning: We believe in learning through play. Our sessions include structured play activities that are not only enjoyable but also educational, helping children to naturally develop social interaction skills.
Customised Approach: Recognising that each child is unique, our therapists tailor activities to meet the individual needs and abilities of each group member, ensuring a beneficial experience for all.
Parental Involvement: We provide regular feedback to parents and caregivers, offering strategies to reinforce the social skills learned in sessions at home and in other social settings.
