Evidence-Based Success For ASD
Secret Agent Society skills training is recognised world-wide as one of the most successful evidence-based programs of its kind in the world and has helped thousands of children since 2009.
The research behind this course is immense and extremely positive. Long-term research indicates that 3 in every 4 children who have participated in this course exhibit significantly improved social skills and friendship skills 12 months later.
Learning Is Outrageously Fun
Content is taught in a way that is practical, well-sequenced, and at times, outrageously fun! New skills are practised with others using a variety of technology. What makes this course so special is that the secret agent theme helps your child take on the role of a detective to look for clues in how others speak and communicate.
Then, as secret agents, we use those clues to determine what others are trying to tell us and what they may be thinking. For example, your child can learn to use their ‘Detective’ skills to listen to the volume, speed and pitch of people’s voices during conversations. Then your child can interpret these clues to detect how the other person is feeling.
