The Secret Agent Society teaches emotion regulation and social skills
The Secret Agent Society is an internationally recognised group program that teaches emotion regulation and social skills to 8 to 12 year-olds with Autism Spectrum Conditions (Asperger type).
University of Queensland research (RCT) has shown that 76 per cent of children who participated in the program improved from having clinically significant delays in social functioning to showing social skills within the range of typically developing kids.
The highly interactive SAS program uses an animated computer game (finalist 2009 Australian Interactive Media Industry Association Educational Game of the Year), small group child therapy sessions, parent information sessions and teacher handouts to help children develop essential life skills such as how to recognise emotions in themselves and others, express their feelings in appropriate ways, how to talk and play with others, make and keep friends, cope with change and deal with bullying.
For practitioners who primarily work individually with children, the SAS Computer Game Pack is a valuable tool to teach children how to recognize and manage their feelings and solve social problems.
In addition to the four-level animated SAS computer game, the pack contains engaging visual aids to help children practice and generalize skills to real life.
"This program is a great resource for clinicians, teachers and families. It provides the skills and resources needed to fully engage children on the autism spectrum – and make learning fun! I highly recommend the Secret Agent Society program as the resources are innovative, well targeted and can make a big difference to how children on the spectrum manage their home and school life." Dr Tony Atwood, International expert on Asperger's Syndrome.
