Skill Building
Fostering Independence Through Targeted, Personalised Skill Development
What is Skill Building?
Skill building is at the heart of what we do. It involves a structured, therapeutic approach to teaching individuals the essential skills they need to navigate their daily lives, interact with others, and participate meaningfully in their community. Our goal-oriented sessions are designed not just to teach, but to empower children and adolescents, helping them build confidence and achieve greater independence.
Through personalised therapy, we break down complex skills into manageable steps, using evidence-based techniques like Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to ensure learning is effective, positive, and lasting.
Our Key Areas of Focus
Social Skills
We help children learn to initiate conversations, take turns, share, understand social cues, and build meaningful friendships.
Communication Skills
Our programs focus on both verbal and non-verbal communication, from expressing wants and needs to understanding instructions and engaging in reciprocal dialogue.
Daily Living Skills (ADLs)
We work on essential self-care routines such as dressing, grooming, hygiene, and eating to foster personal independence.
Play and Leisure Skills
Developing the ability to play independently and with peers is crucial for development. We teach how to engage in activities, follow rules, and enjoy leisure time.
School Readiness
We prepare children for academic settings by teaching skills like following classroom routines, participating in group activities, and managing transitions.
Emotional Regulation
We provide strategies to help children understand their emotions and develop healthy coping mechanisms for frustration, anxiety, and excitement.
