- Learning new skills and ways of doing things to achieve your outcomes
- Making new friends with peers your own age who are also working to achieve similar outcomes.
Group Programs
Take part in positive experiences with peers your age, in a supportive and interactive group environment.
Group programs are offered alongside one-on-one therapy when peer interaction is important for children and adults’ skills development or when parents need strategies to support their child’s language development.
Everyday Independence uses approaches that best develop children and teenagers’ language and social skills. Our group programs are a great option when interaction with peers is the key to learning. Ask your key worker or practitioner if group programs are offered in your area and if they’re right for you.
