Girls' Year 7-9 Social Skills Group

Social skills can be challenging for students with language and learning disorders and/or autism spectrum disorders. Teenage girls particularly can find troubles with friendships difficult to negotiate, and this may cause them significant discomfort or trauma. Loneliness, depression and fear resulting in avoidance behaviours are all warning signs that not all is well in their world.

If you are concerned about your daughter's social interactions, consider equipping her with explicit social skills training that will allow her to alter her reactions in different situations to defuse the emotional tension.

Speaking of Learning... will be running a year 7-9 girls' social skills group during the first week of the September school holidays (22nd-25th Sept., 2-4pm). Discussion and role play in a safe, group setting will focus around understanding emotions - our own and each others' - general conversational rules, making friends and responses to negative emotions caused by words or actions of others.

If your teenage daughter could benefit from such a program, we encourage you to contact us on 9873 7043 or at info@speakingoflearning.com.au to book her a place, or to get more information.
