About Our Groups
At Building Blocks Therapy, we offer specialised groups called Programs of Support. These are therapy programs for children to learn and develop their everyday living skills and practice them in a supportive environment with same-aged peers.
We offer a range of programs to provide children with an opportunity to:
Foster meaningful social connections by providing safe, low-pressure opportunities for children to engage with peers in ways that feel comfortable and authentic to them.
Support self-directed exploration of new skills, allowing children to engage at their own pace and in their preferred ways, honouring their unique strengths and interests.
Build self-confidence by celebrating each child’s unique achievements and progress, no matter how big or small, and reinforcing a sense of self-worth.
Enhance overall skill development through play-based, child-centered activities that focus on promoting independence. This includes fine and gross motor skills, sensory integration, daily living skills, and other areas tailored to each child’s unique needs.
Cultivate self-regulation strategies by helping children discover and practice individualized techniques to manage emotions, sensory input, and energy levels in a supportive environment.
Empower families to support their child’s growth by providing them with practical tools and insights, respecting their role as the experts on their child’s needs and experiences.
All our programs provide parent education and coaching around developing skills at home and in the community.
