Making friends can be tricky. Conversations can be confusing. People don't always say exactly what they mean, disagreements happen, and figuring out what to do next isn't always easy.

Connect Your Way is a neurodiversity-affirming social communication program designed to build practical skills for everyday relationships and participation.

Developed by experienced Speech Pathologists from Leaps & Bounds Speech Pathology, this program supports participants to explore friendship, conversations, different communication styles, self-advocacy, boundaries, conflict, problem-solving, and navigating challenging social situations.

‍Connect Your Way is about understanding how social stuff works, learning strategies for tricky situations, and figuring out what works for you.

No pretending to be someone you're not. No one “right” way to communicate. Just practical tools for making friends, communicating confidently, and navigating the social world your way.

Our CYW for Teenagers group for 2027 will be held in Term 1, on Fridays from 4-5:30pm. We will schedule introductory meetings with each teenager and their parent(s)/carer(s) prior to the group starting, then the group runs for 10 weeks (with a break over the Easter long weekend).
