Group Programs

At Splash, our group programs are a fantastic way to bring the skills learnt in individual sessions into a group setting.

We offer a range of group programs to cater for a variety of needs. All group programs offered align with your child’s individual therapy program.

We also offer education programs for parents and caregivers, facilitated by our Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapists. These programs provide parents and carers with information and skills to support their child’s development at home.

NDIS funding can be used for these programs.

Splash’s group programs are only available to active clients.

Suitable for children starting primary school in 2026.

The purpose of this group is to prepare your child for the routines expected at school alongside their peers in a small group setting. This group is a great way to prepare your child for their transition to prep in a supportive and structured environment. In addition to direct supports with your child, this group also includes additional parent education sessions that bring parents together to provide them with the tools to support their child during their transition to primary school.

The group will cover the following activities:

  • Fine motor skills

  • Attention and engagement

  • Working in pairs/small groups on joint tasks

  • Practicing following instructions

  • Practicing how to ask for help

In the group the therapist will lead activities such as mat time, writing and drawing activities at the table, cutting and craft skills, and self-management skills like managing their school bag and snacks independently.
