Socially Speaking is a pragmatic social skills program that supports the development of effective social interactions that do not necessarily come naturally to many of our children. The programme is divided into three units:

• Let’s communicate
• Let’s be friends
• Let’s practise

and is expected to last for the duration of a school year.

As children progress through the programme the expected outcomes are that:

• Their self-esteem and confidence in social interaction increases
• Their listening skills improve
• Their ability to express themselves improves
