Social Skills
What is a social skills group?
Our social skills group teaches children a variety of social skills to help improve their ability to make and keep friends, develop more self-confidence, and behave appropriately. Role plays and group interaction will give the children oppurtunities to practice these skills. The therapist will utilize behavioral reinforcement, compliance, participation and use of appropriate social skills, while also encouraging and reinforcing the children to practice these skills outside of the session.
Social Skills
Does your child:
Have difficulty making or keeping friends?

Have difficulty initiating, maintaing, or ending conversation?
Make impulsive or poor decisions?
Have trouble dealing with anger?
Avoid eye contact during conversation?
Why are Social Skills Important?
Social Skills are the foundation for getting along with others. A lack of Social Skills can lead to behavioral difficulties in school, delinquency, inattentiveness, peer rejection, emotional difficulties, bullying, difficulty in making friends, aggressiveness, problems in interpersonal relationships, poor self-concept, academic failures, concentration difficulties, isolation from peers, and depression. Children with learning disabilities, sensory integration difficulties, Asperger’s Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, neurological disorders, and emotional disabilities often need additional training in Social Skills. They will likely benefit from direct instruction in Social Skills Groups led by trained professionals and the availability of a safe environment in which to practice newly learned skills.
Groups will be formed based upon age.
