What is Secret Agent Society (SAS)?
Secret Agent Society (SAS) is an innovative, award-winning social and emotional skills program for children aged 8–12 years. Using a fun, spy-themed format, children become “secret agents” who learn to crack the code of emotions, friendships and social situations.
- Evidence-based program designed specifically for neurodivergent children.
- Structured weekly sessions with clear skills practice and “missions” between sessions.
- Strong parent involvement so strategies are reinforced at home and school.
Who is this program for?
SAS is designed for children aged 8–12 years who:
- Are autistic or suspected of being on the autism spectrum.
- Have ADHD or attention difficulties.
- Experience anxiety, worry or big emotions.
- Struggle with making or keeping friends, or find social situations confusing.
Children do not need a formal diagnosis to attend. We work with families to check that the group is a good fit before confirming a place.
What do children learn?
Across the program, children learn practical skills to help them feel calmer, more confident and more connected with others. Key focus areas include:
- Recognising emotions in themselves and other people.
- Managing big feelings such as anxiety, frustration and anger.
- Solving social problems and handling tricky situations more calmly.
- Making and keeping friends and working as part of a team.
NDIS funding
Many children do not have a specific “social and community participation” budget in their NDIS plan. Because Secret Agent Society is run by a psychologist, it can usually be funded from Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living.
This may include line items such as:
- 15_001_0118_1_3 – Early Childhood Intervention Professional – Psychologist (younger children)
- 15_054_0128_1_3 – Assessment, Recommendation, Therapy or Training – Psychologist (older children)
Our admin team can talk with you or your Support Coordinator about how SAS can be billed under your child’s existing plan and what the approximate out-of-pocket cost will be (if any).
