Services For Schools

Socially Speaking offers the following services to schools

Small group support in schools

These groups can be tailor-made to meet the needs of the students i.e. self-regulation, sensory processing, social and emotional development.

The following procedures will take place

• Schools/Professionals involved with schools identify students who need support
• A teacher questionnaire is completed and permission slips are completed by parents/caregivers. These are sent through to Socially Speaking
• Small groups are set up. Ideally 6-8 students.  We would request a support person from the school in the group to aid with generalisation of concepts into the school environment
• Weekly groups take place. These are run by a speech and language therapist/and or occupational therapist.
• Written summaries are written at the end of the term and sent to teachers and parents/caregivers

Some students may be identified by their parents/caregivers, school or during the group sessions and may benefit from further individual support from our team at Socially Speaking which can be organised by contacting us directly.
