 This social and life skills program assists young ones from the ages of 10-14, to build appropriate social and inferencing skills and to develop independence carrying out everyday living tasks.

What are social skills?
Social skills are the skills used to verbally and non-verbally communicate and interact with others through gestures, body language and personal appearance.  Strong social skills guide how individuals behave in social situations and help them to understand both written and implied rules when communicating with others.

How can social skills be improved?

  • Through play
  • By building emotional understanding to help develop empathy
  • analysing social stories
  • receiving effective feedback following practical application of social skills
  • What are Living Skills?
    Living Skills comprise a wide range of knowledge and skills that provide individuals with the important tools required to perform daily tasks in their lives and to develop into active and productive members of their communities. Life skills also serve the important function of preparing individuals to act in situations where carers may not be around to help. Life skills are not innate but can be learned and are a crucial part of education to help prepare individuals for the day-to-day challenges of participating in their community, workplace and feeling independent at home.
