Social Skills
We focus on enhancing interpersonal interactions through role-playing, group activities, peer interaction and guided play. Our therapists help children develop effective communication, cooperation, compliance, and conflict-resolution skills to build and maintain positive relationships.
Emotional Regulation
Our therapists teach techniques for managing emotions, such as mindfulness, deep breathing exercises, grounding techniques and identifying emotional triggers. We work with children to build self-awareness and resilience, enabling them to manage stress and emotional challenges effectively.
Learning Skills
We provide personalised support to improve cognitive abilities, including attention, memory, and problem-solving. Our evidence-based approaches aim to enhance academic performance and foster learning through interactive and engaging activities.
Tolerance
We help children build tolerance by gradually exposing them to situations in a supportive environment to manage everyday changes, challenges or setbacks. Our therapists use desensitisation techniques and positive reinforcement to increase comfort and adaptability in various settings.
Communication
Our focus is on developing clear and effective communication skills through structured activities and real-life practice. We emphasise essential skills such as requesting items, activities, attention, and information. Additionally, we teach active listening, responding to instructions, answering social questions, and building conversational abilities. By fostering these skills, we aim to help children build confidence in their interactions and improve their social connections.
Independence
We support children in gaining independence by fostering self-reliance and decision-making abilities. Our practical life skills training includes essential tasks such as self-help skills. Our therapists provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can practice these skills, encouraging them to take initiative and manage daily tasks independently. By empowering children to handle these basic activities, we help them become more autonomous and self-sufficient.
Improve Speech
