Kids in Action - Fall 2022 Program
We have learned that the pandemic has had a significantly negative impact on the social skills of many learners with ASD regardless of their age. Therefore, it is our faith to keep up with helping learners with ASD in building up the missing social blocks.
‘Kids in Action’ group will be designed to help young children with ASD learn how to take the appropriate ‘actions’ in a group setting. Action can include a lot of behaviours like sitting in a circle time, joining in a group table/floor activity, following the learning routines, etc.
The session structure will have different routines including social circle time, group activity, art&craft, the individual learning time, and learning circle time. In the social circle time, the learners will learn different social skills with the social stories, scenarios, media, and the Kahoot. In the individual learning time, each learner will have the mission board to complete for individualized tasks at the learner’s appropriate level for the early literacy and numerical skills. The group activity time will consist of a variety of activities such as experiments, team artworks, interactive books, group game, and so on. The learning circle may be included for the common learning goals for all learners; the possible goals can be the basic phonics or the different cognitive terms.
Children in this program will learn how to…
● Take care of their own belongings
● Stay seated in the circle time
● Follow teacher’s instructions as a group
● Collaborate with friends
● Wait for the turn and take one’s turn independently
● Play gently together with the peers
● Self-regulation during the physical/or other preferred activity
● Take smooth transition between the activities
● Follow group routines with the age appropriate level
● Initiate and maintain the peer interactions
● Learn the cognitive/academic skills that are required in the learner’s age-appropriate level
The program will be designed and facilitated by a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA), Roslie Hong along with a Behaviour Interventionist.

This program is for children who have conversational skills, are able to remain in a designated area, and attend to group instructions without one on one support from an adult. The purpose of the group is to provide opportunities for the children who have knowledge of social skills to enhance their social experiences through activities, games, and experiential learning in a small group setting.
The goals for this group will be drawn from the following social skill areas based on the Club members’ learning needs:
Social Awareness - learning who is around me, and how do I act in the group.
Social Communication – responding to and initiating social invitations
Social Interactions – initiating and maintaining play activities, learning reciprocity in interactions, and how to respond to bullies and complicated social situations.
Social Learning - learning to learn from others, what are my peers doing?
Social Relatedness - tolerating peer presence, fostering interest and engagement
