Baobab Bushrangers - Castlemaine
We are excited to be offering nature-based social groups in Castlemaine for the upcoming term!
Working in small groups, our programs will support the development of social skills through an interactive and play-based program using an evidence-based approach. Working in small groups, children can engage in social learning and put new skills into practice within a group context. Each session includes group games and collaborative activities interwoven with opportunities for problem solving and collaboration. We aim to empower children to express their needs, embrace their differences, and find tools to help them regulate their emotions and sensory differences in a group setting, to prepare them for social interactions in the real-world.
We understand that socializing and self-expression looks different for everyone and so rather than ‘teaching’ a specific set of prescribed behaviors and phrases, we embrace neurodiversity and each child’s unique personality in our social groups. Our program provides children with the opportunity to engage collaboratively, connect with peers, work as a team, find joy in being a part of a group, and practice navigating challenges that may arise in social situations in real life.
Each session builds more opportunity for relationship development and introduces new ideas and principles, so we strongly recommend your child attends all sessions.
Our Castlemaine Groups
The groups are suitable for children with or without a diagnosis who are experiencing challenges with social interaction, play and/or regulation.
Allocation to each group is determined according to personality, skills and developmental level rather than purely based on chronological age, so please call to discuss which group may be most appropriate for your child.
Our groups are small and places tend to fill up fast so please contact our Castlemaine branch on 0401 682 416 to book a place for your child. Once we have received your expression of interest, you will be provided with an intake form which contains information about our fees, terms of service, cancellation policy.
