Virtual sessions focus on facilitating appropriate interaction and conversation skills, particularly within an online space (e.g., attentiveness online, social cues for online learning, self-control on online discussions, internet safety). One specific topic will include understanding safe social interactions depending on our social circle, and safety. For example, family social interactions versus friend social interaction.
Similar to our in-person groups, once joining a program, children must commit to the entire 8 weeks. Children can repeat a program more than once or they may start a new program upon completion of a previous group. Caregivers are encouraged to participate during the session to support their child.
