Little Buddies
Your child's first experience of a group — with a qualified Instructor Therapist beside them the whole session.
Three hours every Saturday morning. Kids practise greetings, taking turns and playing alongside each other, with fitness activities mixed in to keep the energy up. One-to-one support the whole way through.
A good fit if your child
- Is toilet trained or in diapers — either is fine
- Can follow a simple one-step instruction
- Is comfortable being near other children
- Can move between activities with an adult's help

Fun with Friends
Games, science and crafts — with the social skills built into their everyday activities.
Four hours every Saturday. The social skills are built into the activity rather than taught at a table — kids work on starting conversations, understanding what a friend wants, and learning to work as a team.
A good fit if your child
- Eats and uses the toilet independently
- Asks for what they want in 1–4 word sentences
- Joins in play with some adult support
- Can follow a two-step instruction
- Is comfortable around other children

Operation Cooperation
Conversation practice with peers who are working towards the same goals.
Four hours every Saturday. Conversations are tricky, and they only get easier with practice. Kids work through real back-and-forth discussions, negotiating, compromise, make group decisions and problem solve as a group when a plan changes.
A good fit if your child
- Eats and uses the toilet independently
- Plays with peers with light support
- Can hold a short back-and-forth conversation and wants more practice
- Can follow instructions given to a group
- Is comfortable around other children
