We tailor goals for each young person and team based on individual abilities.

For NDIS participants, we align our goals with NDIS objectives

while also considering your young person’s unique personality and needs.

We offer various session times based on your young person’s age group and art interests.

Our sessions are designed to foster teamwork among young people of different ages and abilities,

with opportunities for older students to assist younger ones, promoting a teamwork mindset.

Our environment is among the safest your young person can be in. Each session is led by our social skills leaders who ensure that all interactions are friendly and respectful.

We have clear guidelines for communication and behavior.

We express our opinions kindly.

We listen to differing opinions.

We always heed our leaders’ guidance.

We stay calm, even if we disagree.

We compromise when others suggest different creative approaches.

We take breaks to calm down when needed, as directed by our leaders.

We keep our cameras on (in Zoom) so leaders and teammates can see how we’re feeling.

We use calm, kind, and polite words, maintaining friendly expressions.

We finish on time, even if we’re still working on our projects.

Each session introduces a new social skill, broken down into simplified steps.

Your young person learns new skills in an engaging, enjoyable manner.

Your young person practices these social strategies in a supportive environment.

Fun games help reinforce the effective application of new skills.

We assist your young person in trying out these skills independently.
