School Holiday Social Groups

June/July 2026

Build Confidence. Build Connection. Build Skills.

These school holidays, Wonder Words Speech Pathology is running small-group, therapist-led programs designed to support children to build social communication skills in a fun, structured, and supportive environment.

Our groups combine collaborative play, problem-solving, emotional awareness, and movement β€” because social learning happens best when children feel safe, engaged, and regulated.
