Group Aim:
To support adolescents in developing social and communication skills that help them build and
maintain peer relationships, manage everyday school interactions, and navigate group dynamics with
increased confidence and independence.
Skills to be developed:
- Identifying and expressing emotions
- Understanding and navigating social expectations and boundaries
- Conflict resolution, cooperation, and problem-solving
- Self-awareness, assertiveness, and self-advocacy
- Effective use of verbal and non-verbal communication
- Anxiety management and emotional regulation
- Perspective-taking and understanding others’ thoughts and intentions (mentalisation)
Methods:
- Cognitive-behavioural techniques (e.g. positive reinforcement, structured reflection)
- Autism-specific strategies (e.g. visual supports, social narratives)
- Peer modelling and guided social practice
- Role play and real-life scenario discussions
- Creative, reflective, and structured group activities
- Group discussions and interactive tasks that support collaboration and insight
Participation in the group requires an initial parent consultation. If necessary, an individual
assessment is conducted before group placement, followed by 3–4 introductory one-on-one sessions
with the group leader.
Regular parent consultations are also part of the programme to monitor the child’s development,
share insights, and support ongoing collaboration.
Recommended age group: 14 +
