Clinical overview

What is Group Sessions?

Some skills can only be learned with other children. Group sessions give children a safe, structured place to practise turn-taking, sharing, waiting, listening, negotiating and joining in โ€” with an adult nearby to guide and encourage.

Groups are small and carefully matched by age, ability and goals, so every child is stretched a little and overwhelmed by nothing.

Who may benefit

Is this right for my child?

You do not need an official diagnosis to come and talk to us. If any of the following sound familiar, an assessment is worth having.

  • Children who do well one-to-one but struggle in a group
  • Difficulty making or keeping friendships
  • Trouble taking turns, sharing or losing a game
  • Shy or anxious children who hold back from joining in
  • Children preparing to start or return to school
  • Children who have finished individual therapy and need to generalise their new skills

15-Minute Home Social Scaffolding Routine

Progress accelerates when clinic skills are reinforced inside daily home routines. Try this 15-minute sequence:

Step 1: Board Game Turn Taking (5 mins)

Play a simple game (Connect 4, Uno). Say 'My turn... now your turn' clearly with physical token handover.

Step 2: Emotion Face Guessing (5 mins)

Look in a mirror together. Practice surprised, frustrated, proud, and calm expressions to sharpen emotional recognition.

Step 3: Cooperative Task (5 mins)

Complete a dual-handed task requiring two people (folding a blanket or carrying a block tray together).

Good to know

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Groups are intentionally small โ€” typically three to six children with at least one facilitator.

Yes, and many children do. Groups work best alongside individual sessions rather than instead of them.

That is expected sometimes, and it is part of the learning. A facilitator supports them to settle and rejoin at their own pace.
