Program Highlights
Taking an affirming approach, children will build capacity in social communication and problem-solving including:
Effective Communication
Expressing and advocating for their ideas and needs in a way that is authentic to their communication style.
Understanding Peers
Recognizing and appreciating diverse communication styles and experiences.
Problem-solving strategies
Developing techniques to navigate social interactions with understanding and regulation.
Social Navigation

What to Expect?
Engaging LEGO® Activities
Children will participate in a variety of LEGO-based activities, from building complex structures to collaborative storytelling.
Inclusive and affirming opportunities for authentic social interactions
A child’s self-determination and advocacy for their own goals, preferences, and interests are central to this experience, whilst supporting a child to authentically engage with others.
Neuro-affirming Environment and Approach
Strategies for self-advocacy, self-determination, exploring one’s communication style, and strategies and modelling of regulation are at the forefront of this experience. Experience a welcoming and neuro-inclusive atmosphere that celebrates neurodiversity.
Strengths-Based and Special Interests
Children will be encouraged to explore their strengths whilst providing space for a child to share information about their special interests, in their own way.
Social Communication and Self-Advocacy Development
Opportunities will be provided to practise helpful social communication skills such as advocacy, collaboration, problem-solving, resilience, teamwork, and regulation in a fun and supportive setting.
Expert Guidance
Benefit from the guidance of experienced and qualified facilitators who are passionate in supporting children (with any neurotype) to explore their unique set of strengths, authentic communication style, regulation, and potential accommodations or areas for support to ensure a child can thrive in their home and/or educational environment.
