Social Skills Groups for Children in Johannesburg
SpeakClearly runs structured social skills groups for children who need support with communication, play skills, and peer interaction. Our groups are led by qualified speech-language therapists and are designed for children aged 4 to 12 years.

- Are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Experience social anxiety or selective mutism

- Problem-solving in social situations
- Cooperative play and teamwork
- Self-regulation and managing frustration
How Our Groups Work
Groups are small (4-6 children) to ensure individual attention. Sessions run weekly and follow a structured programme with clear goals. Parents receive regular feedback and home strategies. We run groups at our Jukskei Park clinic and can arrange school-based groups on request.
