Valuing Neurodiversity with Secret Agent Society
Community information sessions
For: Allied health and education professionals as well as parents.
The award-winning and evidence-based Secret Agent Society (SAS) Small Group Program has been meaningfully improving the lives of children around the world for more than a decade. The espionage-themed program engages 8–12-year-olds in social and emotional development through a clinician-led experience that combines Child Club Meetings, Parent Group Meetings, Missions between sessions, Teacher Tip sheets, a Skill Tracker, computer games and assessment tools.
Learn about the SAS Small Group Program and how SAS Facilitators use a range of neurodivergent-affirming approaches to teach new skills with children, their parents, and their teacher’s that makes for meaningful change to families’ lives.
SAS Provider services supports many different children with their social and emotional goals, so even if your child is not neurodivergent, you may like to join us to generally learn more about how you and your child can participate in SAS. Clinics or schools can also learn about how to offer SAS to a range of different families.
