Social Club
Our sole purpose is to provide the opportunity for like-minded neurodivergent individuals to socialise in a safe, friendly and inclusive collective to practice social interaction demands in real-life social scenarios to build confidence, gain skills and be able to advocate oneself.
We understand that socialising and interactions can be unnerving for our children. We aim to increase self-esteem and independence. To do this, we have planned a 12-week program to be accessible and provide a variety of real-life activities in different social scenarios our children may face to be transferable and easier to use in all social situations such as the school playground, a birthday party, a play date, family gathering, the local playground, a shopping trip or a neurotypical community-run group.
