Group Therapy
At Look Who's Talking we're always devising new and creative ways to help our clients reach their full potential. One of the ways we strive to achieve this is through group therapy!
Group therapy allows children to experience a range of benefits, otherwise not experienced in individual therapy. Children have the ability to work on their speech and language goals in a collaborative and supportive environment, while fostering the opportunity to engage with peers.
Group therapy has been shown to provide a more relaxed, natural environment for children to work towards their therapeutic goals and helps to improve their social interactions and social communication skills.
Most importantly, group therapy makes learning fun and has demonstrated an increase in children’s confidence when communicating with others.
Looking for engaging and educational activities for your children and teens during the school holidays? Look Who’s Talking has several School Holiday Group Programs designed to keep your kids and teens connecting, learning, and having fun!
Think Building Blockstars, Baking, Junior and Senior Gaming, Arts and Crafts and MORE!
Our Holiday groups run between 1.5 – 4 hours across the 2 weeks of holidays. Each group has varying sessions available to attend, where you can attend as few or as many as you like. All groups are run with 3 to 8 participants.
All groups are run by our amazing Occupational, Speech and Music Therapists who know how to turn holiday time into something fun, supportive and full of connection!
The cost of the group session is dependent on the number of children attending that group.
Group 1: 5-8 years, 8:00am – 10:00am
Group 2: 9-14 years, 4:00pm – 6:00pm
Our Social Connections groups will provide an environment to foster interest based discussions and activities in small group activities. We welcome children to join in group activities where they will work together with peers in fun, social interactions to build confidence, communication and problem solving skills. This group will provide a supportive, inclusive and encouraging environment for children to form new relationships with peers and practice using their social language skills in natural, interest led environments.
