The Secret Agent Society (SAS) Small Group Program is a 9 week evidence-based, espionage-themed social skills program designed for 8 to 12-year-olds experiencing social and emotional challenges, including Autism, ADHD, anxiety, and anger management difficulties.

Through fun, interactive sessions and games, children learn how to recognise and manage emotions, cope with anxiety, build friendships, communicate effectively, and solve social problems.

The program includes weekly child group sessions, weekly parent sessions, and teacher support resources, weekly missions, and a digital platform for home and school practice.

What sets SAS apart is its step-by-step, hierarchical approach to skill-building, beginning with emotional regulation before progressing to social interaction. Content is tailored to each child’s developmental level and family context, making it both structured and adaptable.

SAS empowers children—and the adults who support them—with the tools to confidently navigate social situations in real life.
