Who We Are

The Social Play Academy was established in 2021, by Psychologist Will Ellison. Will started the Social Play Academy with the sole focus of finding more effective ways of developing social skills in children and teenagers.

All programs run by the Academy have been designed to be a comprehensive clinical intervention, and are facilitated by registered Psychologists.
