Kids Group Programs

Children learn so much from interacting with each other. That is why A Growing Understanding Speech Pathology offers fun and engaging Kids Group Programs that run at various times throughout the year and during the school holidays.

For many children, language and social communication skills can be tricky to master. If a child does struggle with language and communication skills, they may find that they become isolated and miss out on taking part in a variety of fun activities that involve turn-taking, sharing or even communicating their needs and ideas.

Our Kids Group Programs will help your child build key skills including turn-taking, receptive and expressive language skills (ability to express instructions and follow instructions), play skills, how to make friends, conversational skills and motor skills.

The activities are based on children’s interests and are designed to provide children with a fun and supportive environment to practice the valuable skills they have learnt. Our team of qualified speech pathologists, together with other professionals (including Occupational Therapists for some groups), ensure all programs:

• Provide additional support to help your child achieve their goals
• Encourage peer support and help your child build confidence and make new friendships
• Provide opportunities to practice various skills within ‘real world’ situations
• Offer an opportunity for your child to learn from other children and even take on a leadership role
• Help your child build language and communication skills, including initiating conversations with their peers
