Social interaction is one of the most delicate times during a child’s education, yet for the majority of children with learning disabilities, effective social interaction is not something that comes naturally to them. Effective social interaction is vital for developing and maintaining relationships and for independent living outside the school context.
Socially Speaking is a unique social skills programme for children with mild to moderate learning disabilities, physical and/or medical disabilities and for those with special needs in mainstream education and includes three key areas;
-
Let’s Communicate
-
Let’s Be Friends
-
Let’s Practice
As children progress through the carefully structured programme, their self-esteem will increase and their listening skills and expressive language abilities will improve, and in turn everyone will benefit from enhanced social interaction.
