Group Programs
At PIC, our team provides several group therapy options. Most groups run for 60-75 minutes with an additional 15 minutes of supervised semi-structured playtime, while the parents/carers receive feedback from the group facilitator. It is expected that parents/carers participate in these feedback sessions to promote skill development and generalisation.
Groups consists of 2-6 participants with a minimum of two facilitators. There is always a leading speech pathologist running the group alongside another speech pathologist or highly skilled assistant.
