Foundation skills group

What is Foundation Skills Group?

The Autism SA Foundation Skills Group offers children aged 3-5 years therapeutic services and supports in a holistic, group-based therapy program.

The aim of the Foundation Skills Group is to support young children and their families to reach their goals through an intensive early support program. Our team of Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists and Educators value your children’s strengths and interests and will work collaboratively with families, educators and other service providers to form a team around the child. This is achieved by using best practice strategies and approaches for meaningful outcomes in all areas.

How do children develop in the Foundation Skills Group?

Children are supported to develop skills in communication, social interactions, movement, play, self-care and behaviour throughout their time at Foundation Skills Group. There are a range of whole group, small group and 1-to-1 activities which are incorporated into the daily routine. The group learning environment also provides opportunities for positive social interactions with both peers and adults.
