Group Therapy
Helping children learn, communicate, and participate together.
The Group Therapy Programme at Next Steps Therapy Center provides a structured and supportive environment where children practise communication, social interaction, emotional regulation, play, learning, and daily living skills with their peers.
Children are placed in suitable groups based on their age, developmental level, communication abilities, and individual needs.

Progress is monitored through participation, communication, independence, task completion, and the level of support required.
Our Collaborative Approach
Our therapists work closely with parents, caregivers, teachers, and other professionals. Families receive regular progress updates and practical strategies to help children use their developing skills at home, school, and in the community.
