Social Development Groups
Social Development
The change over time in a person’s understanding of the way they communicate and interact with others. Social development flourishes when relationships provide an opportunity for mutual understanding of each person’s communication style and interpretations.
About the groups below:
Individual Intake Session (Parent & Child): All groups require a 25-min Intake Appointment unless you are one of the facilitator’s existing clients. $135 payable upon booking [booking online early in links below].
Group Fee: The full fee is required to secure your position in the group and is payable following the intake session. The fee can be found below Please note this item includes a surcharge for third-party transaction fees (STRIPE) and is non-refundable.
If a session is missed, the fee for that week is forfeited. We will attempt to catch your child up on the content of the missed group at the next session attended.
Rebates may also be available for those who have private health, however, it is the client’s responsibility to investigate this further, as it is dependent on individual policies. NDIS Self-managed and Plan-managed participants are accepted, however, we cannot accept NDIA-managed participants at this time.
Please note: We cannot guarantee a space in the group in the term that you want (i.e the next term) as it is a first come first served based on when the intake is booked in for (i.e those booked in in Nov will have first preference over those that do the intake in Jan).
If after exploring the FAQ’s and group info in the link above, you still have questions, please shoot us through an enquiry email form here.
Please note, admin are unable to answer your questions about groups on the phone. Please send questions via the Contact Us form and it will be forwarded to the appropriate clinician to respond.
