School can be a frustrating and confusing experience for children who have not developed their communication skills; not only will access to the curriculum be difficult, so will developing co-operative skills and friendships.
Ginger bear helps to teach and develop spoken language and social interaction skills to children aged 4-6. We deliver it over 40 sessions, twice a week, and aim to develop the "rules" of interaction with the help of the character Ginger the Bear, who features in all the activities we do. Skills we teach include: eye contact, taking turns, sharing, greetings, awareness of feelings, following instructions, listening, paying attention, and play skills.
