Social Group
At Best Future, our Social Group program provides a dynamic and supportive environment for children to build essential social skills through group-based Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) therapy. Designed for children who benefit from practicing interactions with peers, this program focuses on enhancing social, communication, and collaborative skills in a nurturing group setting.
A Focus on Social Skills Development
​
Social skills are a cornerstone of meaningful relationships and successful community engagement. Our Social Group targets core social abilities such as initiating interactions, sharing, turn-taking, and understanding social cues. Through guided group activities and interactive play, children develop the tools they need to confidently navigate social situations.
​
Encouraging Communication in a Group Setting
​
Effective communication is a key focus of our Social Group. By working in a peer-based environment, children have the opportunity to practice both verbal and non-verbal communication skills. Therapists use evidence-based ESDM techniques to encourage children to express their needs, respond to peers, and engage in meaningful conversations, fostering their ability to connect with others.
Peer Interactions and Cooperative Play
​
Learning to interact with peers is a critical aspect of childhood development. Our Social Group provides a structured and supportive space for children to engage in cooperative play, joint activities, and problem-solving tasks. These experiences teach children how to collaborate, resolve conflicts, and build friendships, all while having fun in a safe and inclusive environment.
Building Tolerance and Emotional Regulation
​
Navigating group settings can sometimes be challenging for children. Our program incorporates strategies to help children build tolerance for group dynamics, manage emotions, and adapt to new situations. By learning these skills in a structured setting, children become better equipped to handle social and emotional challenges in their everyday lives.
Generalising Skills in Group Setting
​
One of the unique benefits of our Social Group is the emphasis on generalising skills. We focus on helping children apply what they learn in the group to other social settings, such as school, community activities, and family gatherings. By practising in a variety of contexts, children gain the confidence and adaptability to thrive in the real world.
Tailored Support for Every Child
​
Each child in our Social Group is supported by highly trained therapists who understand the unique needs of children with autism. Activities are tailored to each child’s developmental level, ensuring they feel challenged yet supported. Parents are also involved in the process, with regular updates and strategies to reinforce learning at home.
