1:1 Support

1:1 Introduction to Play & Connect offers tailored, one-on-one support designed for children who may not yet feel ready to participate in group outings.

Sessions focus on building trust, confidence, independence, and comfort in community environments while supporting each child’s needs, interests, goals, and strengths. This can include developing emotional regulation strategies, improving social understanding, practising communication, and becoming more comfortable with new people, places, and experiences.

Activities are flexible and take place in the community, using familiar and enjoyable experiences that reflect the Play & Connect program. Every session is intentional and focused on creating a safe, supportive relationship where the child feels understood, successful, and capable.

As confidence grows, children can gradually meet other participants and transition into small group outings at a pace that feels positive, achievable, and appropriate.
