Thanks for your interest in our early childhood kids ASD group.
If you’d like your child to develop their social communication skills then this group is perfect for you.
The group meets weekly during the school term with breaks over the school holidays. The sessions are held at TLC Music Therapy from
10.30am – 11.15am on Tuesdays. TLC Music Therapy is located at 158 Colby Drive, Belgrave South.
The group is facilitated by Jacinta Calabro, a registered music therapist who has extensive experience in early childhood music therapy.
The group aims to promote social communication skills, emotional regulation, and kinder/school readiness. We’ll be addressing a whole range of goal areas including:
Social skills
Engagement
Tolerance and accommodation of others
Play skills
Making friends
Increase multi-sensory tolerance
Choice-making
Rhythmic and melodic entrainment
Attention and concentration
Functional play skills
Basic numeracy and literacy skills
Fine and gross motor skills
In the group we’ll be rehearsing these skills through live singing, instrument playing, action songs, games, dancing, sensory props, stories, and puppets.
Parents are required to attend the group with your child. Parents will be modelling active participation, safety, and fun for the children.
The cost of the groups is our hourly rate of $193.99ph divided between the group participants. There will also be a small fee for documentation & planning. At the start of each term the fee will be set depending on the number of enrolments. Participants will need to commit to the group for a term at a time and fees will be charged at the end of the term. Please note that absences won’t be refunded.
The group will start from Tuesday 31st January though participants are welcome to join at any time.
