Building the skills to connect
Social communication is the set of unwritten rules that govern how we interact with others — knowing when to speak, how to read facial expressions, how to start and end a conversation, and how to adapt our language to different situations.
- WHO IT'S FOR
- Children & teenagers
- WHERE
- Clinic, home, school or online
- DIAGNOSIS NEEDED?
- No — just get in touch
- FUNDING
- Private health, Medicare, NDIS
Children and teenagers who find these skills hard — whether because of autism, language differences or other factors — often find social situations confusing and exhausting.
We offer both individual therapy and group programs, building these skills in a supportive, real-world context where practice feels natural and confidence grows.
How we help
Two ways to build social skills
Individual therapy
One-to-one sessions focused on your child’s goals — from starting a conversation to understanding how others feel.
Small-group programs
Brick Club, Little Chefs and Garden to Table — real activities where teamwork and talking happen naturally.
Brick Club, Little Chefs & Garden to Table
Small groups for ages 5–12, in the school holidays and on demand.
Questions parents ask
Does my child need a diagnosis first?
No. You're welcome to get in touch with a concern and no diagnosis at all. We'll talk through what you've noticed and suggest the best first step.
Can we claim the cost back?
Often, yes — through private health extras (claimed on the spot in clinic), Medicare with an eligible GP plan, or the NDIS. Our Fees & funding page explains each option.
Every journey starts with a conversation
