"The Social Skills Module by ANDI Initiative is an effective way and great environment for our kids to explore communication with peers. My son is much more confident in expressing thoughts and ideas now, using whatever language he has.
It has encouraged him to positively try to ask questions, and respond to others' questions. With this programme, he is actively seeking to learn new words and tries to get us to correct his sentences in order to express himself better.
Totally awesome!"
- Dahlia, mum to a 6-year-old
"ANDI Social Skills Module has provided an excellent environment for my son to interact with his peers as well as all people surrounding. He is confident to initiate a good conversation with his peers, understand the concept of socialising, more patient in turn-taking, more awareness of rules and regulations."
- Mum of 4-year-old
DESCRIPTION
These 10-session modules are for children on the autism spectrum, or those with similar challenges. We do sometimes include typically-developing peers (children who do not have autism), so that everyone can learn from each other.
This module focuses on FUN, for sure!
Right up there with FUN are the following LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
-To maintain attention to what the others in the group are DOING
- To maintain awareness of what the others in the group are THINKING
- To COORDINATE one's actions with the actions of others
