How do Groups run?
Group sessions are a cost effective way to give clients a block of time to practice and focus on communication needs in a realistic context.
We offer a broad range of small group programs which cater for a variety of needs. Different groups are offered each term. Our programs are designed to provide opportunities to develop communication skills in a small peer group setting. Groups are tailored to participants and are suitable for people of all ages.
Group sessions for children are an excellent way to focus on development of social skills such as turn-taking, task completion, non verbal communication skills, and emotional regulation.
Group sessions for adults or adolescents are a good opportunity for practice, reflection and mentoring with other people with communication goals.
How do Groups run?
- Group sessions are facilitated by 1-2 staff (Speech Pathologist, Occupational Therapist, Music Therapist, Teacher or Allied Health Assistant)
- 3-8 participants
- Term programs run for 6-8 weeks (Holiday programs are usually one day or half day programs)
- Sessions run for 45 mins – 1.5 hours duration
- 1:1 pre-group evaluation required for new clients
- Sessions may / may not include parents, depending on the focus of the group.
