Program Overview

  • 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.

  • Who are they for?

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

  • What happens in sessions?

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

THE TACT APPROACH

Structured, Joyful Learning

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

Family-Embedded

Caregivers get practical strategies to reinforce skills between sessions.

Data-Informed, Student-Centred

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

Interdisciplinary Teaming

ABA clinicians collaborate under BCBA 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.

Assent-Based, Compassionate Practice

We honour student voice and safety—using least-intrusive, trauma-informed strategies.
