Individual Developmental Programs

Welcome to Simcoe Social Skills (SSS) and our Individual Developmental Programs (IDPs). Is your child between the ages of 4-12 and has been diagnosed or is suspected of having a developmental concern? Does your child need additional support within their life space? If so, we can design a therapeutic program to support and promote your child’s individual needs. We welcome caregivers to apply that have a child diagnosed with or suspected of having:

• ADHD
• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Learning Disabilities
• Mental Health Concerns
• Generalized or Specific Anxiety Disorders
• Developmental Disabilities
• Acquired Brain Injuries
• Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
• ** Grief and Loss Programs Coming Soon **

Our IDPs are an 8 week program with 1 hour sessions that follow specific topics and use a holistic and therapeutic play approach guided by strength-based goals. Each weekly session will be designed and structured to meet your child’s area of need by using engaging actives, discussions and crafts. These sessions can either be in-person or virtual, depending on what SSS can provide to meet your child’s needs.

Below are some program examples:

• An 8 week program based around Social Skills
• An 8 week program based around Emotional Regulation
• An 8 week program based around Coping and Calming Skills
• An 8 week program based around Expressive Language
• An 8 week program based around Mental Health

The program facilitator will review your intake, arrange and complete an assessment, and determine if your child is a successful candidate. Successful candidates will be based on on what SSS can provide and what the needs are of a potential client. Please note that a crisis form must be completed if your child displays or has a history of aggression
