Behavioural and Social Skills 

At Caterpillar Care Centre, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to build meaningful relationships, express emotions appropriately, and thrive in social environments.

 

Our Behavioural & Social Skills Program is designed for children who may face challenges with self-regulation, emotional expression, or social interaction.

​

This program draws from evidence-based approaches such as Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), Social Thinking Framework, and Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), ensuring a structured, nurturing, and supportive environment.

Program Objectives

  • Develop Positive Behavioural Patterns – replacing challenging behaviours with appropriate alternatives.

  • Build Emotional Regulation Skills – helping children manage frustration, anger, and anxiety.

  • Enhance Social Communication – learning turn-taking, sharing, and conversation skills.

  • Promote Peer Interaction – building friendships and cooperative play.

  • Increase Confidence & Independence – empowering children to interact effectively at home, school, and in the community.

Key Focus Areas

  • Emotional Regulation Training (using visuals, role play, and calming strategies).

  • Social Stories & Role Play (to teach expected behaviours in real-life scenarios).

  • Group Social Activities (circle time, games, and cooperative play).

  • Positive Reinforcement Systems (reward charts, token economy).

  • Conflict Resolution & Problem-Solving Skills.

  • Parental Guidance – strategies for consistent behaviour management at home.

Success & Impact

Children who undergo behavioural and social skills training often show:

  • Reduced tantrums and meltdowns.

  • Improved cooperation at home and school.

  • Increased ability to make and keep friends.

  • Enhanced self-esteem and resilience.

At Caterpillar, we celebrate progress – whether it’s a child saying “please” for the first time, joining a group game, or learning to calm themselves when upset.
