Focus Saturday Clubs utilise the principles of ABA to teach social and group skills via a natural environment teaching approach. Children are initially grouped according to their social readiness with the aim of teaching skills with an adult, developing to demonstrating with peers and then within a small group. We have added a social skills group for the 2nd cohort working on teaching social skills and social communication within a group setting.
