Program Overview

  • Children and adults playing with a colorful parachute indoors, with one child wearing headphones.

    What are Social Skills Groups?

    Children join together in a fun, relaxed, and supportive setting to learn and practice key social-emotional skills through our evidence based approach.

  • Three children working on a colorful butterfly-themed jigsaw puzzle on the floor of an indoor space.

    Who are they for?

    Children 3–6 and 7–9 who benefit from guided practice with peers in a structured, positive setting.

  • A young woman is sitting in front of three children, engaging them in a group activity inside a classroom. The children are seated on colorful plastic chairs and are listening attentively. Behind them, there is a blue educational bulletin board titled 'Circle Time Center' with various charts and educational content.

    What happens in sessions?

    Through modelling, practice, and feedback, children learn about friendship, cooperation, conversation rules, perspective taking, as well as simple take-home strategies for families.

THE TACT APPROACH

Structured, Joyful Learning

Clear routines + engaging activities keep practice predictable, motivating, and fun.

Data-Informed, Student-Centred

We set measurable goals, track progress, and adjust while following each learner’s interests.

Interdisciplinary Teaming

ABA clinicians collaborate under RBA supervision with access to SLP and OT consultation.

Generalization to School & Community

We practise across people and settings so skills show up in classrooms, teams, and playdates.

We prioritize student assent and well-being by using least-intrusive, trauma-informed approaches that keep learning respectful and motivating.
