Group Programs
Building social confidence

Our social skills groups are a great way to practice skills learned in one-on-one sessions in a supportive, safe and fun setting.

Sensational Kids offers Dyads to help kids practice skills learned in individual sessions, with a peer.  Dyads run throughout the year based on interest and suitability.

WHY GROUP THERAPY?

Group therapy provides children a safe environment to practice skills and techniques learned in individual sessions. They allow therapists to identify and focus on key areas of challenge and strength in a social setting that we may not otherwise have an opportunity to observe.

Some of the things we work on in our groups include:

  • Social confidence
  • Using the right language, body language and gestures
  • Making and keeping friends
  • Attention and concentration
  • Awareness of others
  • Dealing with feelings
  • Perspective taking
  • Group participation and turn taking
  • Resilience
  • Negotiating social situations
  • Reading body cues
  • Following directions
  • Problem solving and reasoning
  • Sensory and motor skills

 

HOW DO I ENROL MY CHILD IN A GROUP?

Please note: We are not currently running groups at Sensational Kids. We are currently offering Dyads only.  Please call if you wish to register your interest in Dyads. 

If you are interested in dyads or your therapist has recommended you consider a dyad for your child, please call our admin team to register your interest. If you are new to our practice, you will meet with a therapist first to set goals and decide which therapist is best suited to your child.
