Emotional Regulation, Social Skills and Communication Education and Support

Social & Communication Skills...
for people of all abilities
​
Communication, connection and the art of conversation are the big three c's that help us develop positive social interactions. Developing sound social and communication skills can be a significant factor in the level of success achieved by young people at school, at home and with peers.
​
We provide support for children and their families to introduce new, or build on exisitng skills and find strategies that suit individual needs. To be a success communicator, we must first know how to regulate our emotions. Learning through play is our secret weapon! Using games, science experients, sport and the arts, our children build confidence, resilience and and grit!

​
-

Fun, play-based activities to promote skill development for adults and children
LOL Studio
Our Sensory Studio offers a comfortable, safe, nurturing environment for children and adults to learn in. With the use of games, art, music, science and engineering we will discover strengths and develop strategies where students are set up for success in everyday life. Learning and growing in the sensory Studio is fun and involves hands on, interactive activities that encourage communication and skill development. Using activities that your child is interested in, helps to develop relationships, solve problems and practice skills in a safe and supported way.

Katherine....
Son aged 6 years
From the moment my son met Melissa he was instantly comfortable. He is excited every week to go and after every visit is in a great mood and very confident. We have seen a major improvement with his language and expressing how he feels. Melissa has also been a great help to us as parents, giving us tips and ideas to help with day to day learning and any issues that arise. Matthew had previously seen a speech therapist and while it helped a little bit it just wasn't what he needed, as he learns better with a hands on approach and through play. We are extremely grateful for what Melissa has achieved with Matthew so far and are excited to continue to work with Melissa as Matthew grows and different challenges arise
