SOCIAL SKILLS GROUP

Our Social Skills Group provides a supportive environment for young children to learn and practice essential social skills. Led by our Educational Psychologist, this programme combines structured teaching with guided peer interaction, helping children develop confidence in social situations.

For Whom

Children who struggle with:

• Initiating and maintaining conversations
• Understanding social cues
• Turn-taking and sharing
• Making and keeping friends
• Working cooperatively with peers
• Understanding others' perspectives

Our Approach:

We believe parents are children's best teachers. Skills taught during sessions are reinforced through home practice and parent involvement. Using the Social Thinking methodology, we help children develop flexible thinking, social competencies, and social problem-solving skills to navigate the social world.

Led by: Ms Daisy Tan, Educational Psychologist
