Special Summer ABA Program:
Social Skills Group for Children with Autism

This summer, we are introducing The Buddies! This is a social skills group program designed to help students with Autism aged 3 to 5 years old. For them to acquire the foundational and necessary skills they need before attending school, we aim to:

– Establish fundamental social skills of children with Autism who are in pre-school
– Help develop school readiness skills
– Increase learning efficiency in the classroom
– Build friendship among classmates and peers
– Develop confidence and interest among others

Students are assessed and goals are created to meet their individual needs and continue to nurture what they have learned. Fun and exciting structure of activities are planned and established to meet the objectives and goals.

At Autism Partnership Philippines, we understand that before a child starts school, it can be both exciting and challenging at the same time. This is so for parents with autism who have concerns about how their child will communicate, interact and play in school.

HOW WE CAN HELP

The Buddies emphasize on teaching social skills that is required in pre-school settings such as how to interact and communicate with friends in the classroom, during play time, table tasks and other school-related activities. It is also designed for children who have minimal behavioral problems and would benefit in a group setting.

– Social Games with flexible rules
– Cause and Effect Play
– Turn-taking games
– Cooperative Play
– Interactive Play Skills
– Social Initiation Skills
– Sharing
