Preschool Social Skills Groups

Our Preschool Social Skills Groups are designed for 3.5 – 5.5 year olds. They combine a variety of approaches, including Social Thinking® methodology, Zones of Regulation and authentic, practical collaboration with a fun interactive focus, with social skills being targeted through explicit teaching role play, modelling, games, and activities. Areas covered include:

  • Whole Body Listening
  • Turn-Taking
  • Thoughts and Emotions
  • Being part of a group
  • Communicating and playing with others
  • Following and giving instructions
  • Asking for help and clarification
  • Sharing needs, wants and ideas
  • Sit and engage in tasks for up to 5 minutes
  • Use 4-5 words in a sentence to communicate needs, wants and ideas
  • Display turn taking and sharing skills (with encouragement)
  • Independently move around a room without the need for physical support
  • Follow simple 1 step instructions
  • Able to separate from parent or carer and participate in group activites for 1 hour
  • Independently perform self-care activities including toileting, hand hygiene and dressing post toileting.

Our approach is inclusive. If your child has difficulties with some of these skills, they may still be able to attend. Please discuss suitability with your individual clinician or contact the ACM office to discuss available supports and accommodations.
