Spark for Life psychology offers a range of neuroaffirming social groups. These groups are safe and supportive spaces where individuals of diverse neurological backgrounds can come together. Our groups are facilitated by trained clinicians who have a deep understanding of neurodiversity and aim to create an inclusive environment that celebrates individual differences. Through a range of activities and discussions, participants are encouraged to express themselves authentically, fostering empathy, understanding, and connection among the members. These groups offer a valuable opportunity for individuals to learn more about themselves, build social skills, enhance their self-confidence, and find a sense of belonging in a community that embraces and respects their unique neurotypes.

LEGO Groups

​

Neuroaffirming LEGO Groups are inclusive gatherings designed to create a positive and supportive environment for children of all neurotypes. In these groups, children with diverse neurological traits, such as autism, ADHD, and others, come together to explore and build with LEGO bricks. The focus is on encouraging creativity, communication, and collaboration, while also embracing each child's unique way of thinking and processing information. By promoting understanding and acceptance, Neuroaffirming LEGO Groups offer a wonderful opportunity for children to develop social skills, build friendships, and feel a sense of belonging in a welcoming community.

 

Our LEGO Groups are suitable for children in Kindergarten to Year 6 who would benefit from experiencing positive social interactions, need help managing peer conflict, and have difficulty regulating emotions during peer interactions. 8 x 90 min sessions running weeks 2-9 each school term. Contact us to register your interest for upcoming groups!
