Pawsitive Pals

5 week social skills group

Want your child to build confidence in social settings? Our Pawsitive Pals program is designed for children aged 7–11 who need a safe, fun space to develop social skills. With the support of a psychologist and our friendly therapy dog Augie, kids gain confidence through structured play, group activities, and positive interactions.

Could your child benefit from extra help making friends? Making and keeping friends doesn’t come naturally to every child. This group uses cooperative games, storytelling, and the calming presence of a therapy dog to gently teach turn-taking, emotional expression, and problem-solving, all essential ingredients for meaningful friendships.

Looking for a playful way to support your child’s emotional growth? Kids open up when they feel safe, and that’s where our therapy dog Augie comes in. With paws-on learning and plenty of encouragement, children build emotional awareness, improve communication, and learn to navigate social situations, all while having fun.

Westmead Feelings Program (8-12 yrs)

Max 4 children per group

The Westmead Feelings Program (WFP) is an evidence-based clinical intervention designed specifically to teach social and emotional skills to children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). WFP is grounded in theory and has strong evidence base to support its clinical effectiveness. WFP aims to enhance the emotional awareness of children with ASD by building on their knowledge of their own and others’ emotions, developing their skills in perspective-taking and empathy, and enhancing their capacity to regulate their own emotions, in particular, managing negative or unpleasant emotions. WFP is tailored to the unique thinking and learning style of individuals with ASD. WFP teaches social and emotions skills in a coherent and developmental oriented framework.

• Westmead Feelings Program 1 is designed to meet the learning needs of children with ASD and a mild intellectual disability aged between 8 and 12 years. The program is also suitable for children from 6 to 8 years with ASD without ID. It may also be useful for other children with social-emotional difficulties (such as language impairments or social communication difficulties).
• Benefits for Children, Parents and Teachers The current research has found that the WFP improves emotional competence in children with ASD in both the home and school environments. Areas of improvements include understanding and communicating their emotions, being able to understand others’ emotions and learning the skills to assist them to regulate their own emotions.
• Funding is able to be claimed through your NDIS plan.
