Social Skills Program
Neuroscientists discovered that new behaviours can be formed by rewiring the brain.
Neural pathways are created through our habits and behaviours. With enough repetition, these pathways get stronger and the behaviours become automatic.
In order to master social skills and develop the associated neural pathways we at SSP encourage your child to attend classes between 6-12 months for new behaviours to form in order to overcome barriers & create back-up plans
IMPORTANT: Each child has their own unique experiences that have shaped their brain and continue to shape it throughout their lives. Therefore, we track your child’s progress and will determine the length of sessions required.
Group sessions
The focus of the Social Skills Group is to achieve social skills while your child is having fun.
