DYNAMIC DUOS (Paired Therapy)

Has your child been attending 1:1 therapy for some time and made wonderful progress — but now they’re ready for the next step?

Does your child have social connection goals such as:

• Building meaningful friendships

• Participating in shared play and collaborative activities

• Initiating and sustaining conversations in ways that feel comfortable for them

• Navigating differences and problem-solving with peers

• Growing confidence in group environments

• Understanding and managing big feelings during peer interactions

Paired Therapy might be the perfect next stage.

​

What is Paired Therapy?

Paired Therapy brings two children together in a supported, clinician-led session to practice real-life social interaction skills in a safe, structured environment.

It’s the bridge between individual therapy and group programs — giving children the opportunity to:

• Generalise their 1:1 skills

• Practice social problem-solving

• Learn flexible thinking

• Develop peer confidence

• Experience success with another child

 

How Pairing Works

Every child’s journey in developing social connections and managing the daily challenges of the social world is unique, and engaging with other children can offer valuable opportunities for learning, growth, and mutual understanding. In paired sessions, therapists are right there to guide and support as children practice sharing ideas, working through differences and managing big feelings together.

 

The Outcomes?

• Increased confidence

• Stronger peer relationships

• Real-world skill development

​

Who is Paired Therapy For?

Paired Therapy is ideal for children who:

• Have been engaged in 1:1 OT or Speech Pathology

• Are ready to practice skills with a peer

• Are building confidence in social interactions

• Would benefit from supported peer interaction before joining a larger group program

 

Children are thoughtfully matched based on age, interests, goals and personality to scaffold a positive experience for both participants.

At Flying Start, we believe that small connections can create big ripples. Paired Therapy is a powerful step in helping children grow not just in skills — but in confidence, friendships and belonging.
