Social-Communication Sessions

‘Social Learners’ is a programme offered to children ages between 4 to 8 years old with good language and understanding abilities. At Well-Rounded-Kids, we follow the Social Thinking® approach pioneered by Michelle Garcia Winner.

Social skills are vital in enabling individuals to have and maintain positive interactions with others, take prospective and play collaboratively . The concepts that children learn through the Well-Rounded-Kids social communication sessions are also essential to their academic success. Children learn the skills necessary to effectively share space with their peers, work well as a part of the group, build healthy relationships with others and follow instructions.

Core lessons include: 

• Understanding how behaviours impact the thoughts and feelings of others
• Reading nonverbal communication
• Conversational skills including small talk and asking questions
• Problem solving and negotiating
• Emotional regulation and self-control
• Being part of a group
• Increasing flexibility
• Understanding hidden social rules
• Play skills or how to hang out

The cost of a 5 week Social Learner programme is £180 per child. Children can either attend for one-off-5 week block, or attend a full 10 week programme. The more classes a child partakes in, the more positive effect this will have, however there is still much benefit from just attending one 5 session block.
