Social Skills Group for Children in Melbourne (NDIS Autism & ADHD Support)

*Are you looking for a **social skills group for children in Melbourne *that truly makes a difference?

Many children with Autism (ASD), ADHD, and social communication challenges find it difficult to make friends, express themselves, or feel confident in group settings. Without the right support, these challenges can impact school, family life, and emotional wellbeing.

At Viangelic, we provide a structured, evidence-based Social Skills Training Program designed to help children build confidence, communication, and meaningful social connections in a safe and supportive environment.


What Is a Social Skills Group?

A social skills group is a small, guided program where children learn how to interact with others through structured activities, play, and real-life practice.

Unlike unstructured playgroups, our program focuses on:

  • Teaching practical social skills step-by-step
  • Supporting children to apply skills in real situations
  • Building confidence and independence over time

This is especially beneficial for children who need extra support beyond school or home environments.


Who Is This Program For?

Our Social Skills Group in Melbourne is ideal for children aged 5–12 years who may have:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

✔ Speech and language delays

✔ Social anxiety or low confidence

✔ Difficulty making or maintaining friendships

If your child struggles with communication, group participation, or emotional regulation, this program can provide the targeted support they need to thrive.
