Dynamic Social Skills Groups

at The Social Learning Studio

Dynamic Social Skills Groups are Social Skills Groups that provide young people and adults with an opportunity to discuss, explore, practice and refine social strategies and skills to support positive relationships with others, and resilience in relationships.

At the Social Learning Studio, we offer social skills group programs based on the Dynamic Social Skills Group Model developed by Connie Buckingham, Psychologist.  These groups have been running since 2004 with evidence validating this approach.

The Dynamic Social Skills Group Program Model was developed by Connie Buckingham, informed by her PhD research in this area. Social skills are taught explicitly as social difficulties occur for participant's in the group.  Importantly, the group program isn't just about skills, it's about skills in context.  Participants engage in interesting and fun group challenges and experiences that provide engaging opportunities to practice new skills. 

Group Program Prices

This us a general guide only. Prices vary depending on group size, number of facilitators per session, and materials required for each program. Note: Programs delivered by 2 facilitators will attract an invoice for both facilitators per session. Typically a clinician’s rate is between $190 and $214 per session. A therapy assistant rate is $64 per session.

The session rate is the clinician/s rate divided by the number of participants in attendance.

You will be informed from the outset if a program will include one or two facilitators, and the resulting cost. Clinicians will let clients know there may be additional resources and supplies needed to run a group which will be charged to NDIS under resources. For example $10 per person for art supplies.
