We specialise in supporting children and young people who struggle to communicate in a way that is socially appropriate, safe and effective. We use a range of evidence-based strategies and interventions to maximise every child’s social competence.
Social skills therapy aims for peer group inclusion. The training is a combination of cognitive-behavioural and social learning. It focuses on encouraging attitudes and behaviours which enhance positive social interactions (i.e. prosocial behaviour); and building coping strategies for dealing with peer pressure and bullying. Throughout the sessions, basic social skills are also taught, depending upon the specific social area the child struggles with.
