Social Skills Training
Teaching social skills in a group setting is an excellent way of being in a rich environment, with lots of opportunities to teach the skills. Namely, children or adults will be selected carefully (diagnosis, symptoms, age, gender, needs) and placed in a small group, with our ABA clinical team.
There are a variety of contraindications, which vary. Please contact us to get more information regarding this.
The Social Skills Groups are provided 1:2 or 1:3, specialists are on-site, and detailed programs are used weekly.
Social Skills Groups occur for a 12-week duration and parent participation is required.
We teach:
- Initiate social interactions
- Greeting others
- Joint attention: looking at another persons to see what he/she is doing, asking others to join in and look
- Parallel play
- Turn taking
- Sharing
- Transitioning from preferred to non-preferred activities
- Co-operative play: working together
- Find solutions
- Reciprocal conversations
- Social manners, such as table manners
