Secret Agent Society Social Skills Program: Empowering Young Cadets

Secret Agent Society (SAS) Social Skills Program: Spy-Themed Learning for Ages 8-12

We proudly offer the Secret Agent Society (SAS), an evidence-based program designed to teach children aged 8-12 essential social and emotional skills through an engaging, espionage-themed experience. Over the past three years, we’ve trained over 50 Cadets in this captivating program, helping children learn how to decode emotions, regulate their own feelings, and navigate social interactions with confidence.

Join the Secret Agent Society and help your child build real-world social and emotional skills in a fun, interactive way. Tailored to different needs and budgets, the program offers three options:

1. Therapist-Led Groups: Premium support in small, therapist-led sessions.
2. Video Sessions with Allied Health Assistants (AHA): Mid-range option featuring video content pre-recorded by a therapist and live group practice led by Allied Health Assistants.
3. Online Self-Paced Course: Budget-friendly option with pre-recorded sessions by a therapist for learning at your own pace.

Proven Impact on Social and Emotional Skills

SAS empowers children to build emotional regulation, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. Backed by randomised controlled trials, SAS has shown that 83% of participants improve their social competence, and 76% demonstrate better emotion regulation. Furthermore, around 70% maintain these gains even six months post-program, showing long-term effectiveness​.

What Families Can Expect

Children join small, supportive groups led by trained SAS Facilitators, participating in a series of sessions and missions designed to foster real-world social skills. The program includes:

• Cadet Club Meetings: Nine fortnightly group sessions with two booster sessions at 3 and 6 months.
• Skill Tracker & Missions: Between meetings, Cadets practice skills at home and school, with progress tracked via the digital SAS platform.
• Parent and Teacher Engagement: Parents and teachers are integral to the process, receiving resources and tips to support the child’s development in different environments.

Inclusive, Flexible Delivery

Originally developed for children with Autism, SAS has expanded to benefit a wide range of children with social, emotional, or neurodevelopmental challenges. The program is delivered both in-person and remotely, offering flexibility for families in different locations.
