We offer social skills groups for all ages and skill levels.

Our Social Skills Groups combine ABA therapy with meaningful peer interaction in a supportive group setting. Each learner works on individual goals while also participating in group goals and activities that encourage communication, social engagement, independence, and connection with others. 

Groups are thoughtfully designed around age, skill level, and specific learning needs, allowing us to target sills that are appropriate and meaningful for each group.

Our groups incorporate the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and are organized based on each learner's age, developmental level, communication abilities, and individual social needs. Each learner may work toward individualized goals while also participating in shared group activities designed to encourage connection, cooperation, independence, and confidence.

Social Skills develop through practice, repetition, feedback, and opportunities to use skills with others. Consistent attendance allows learners to build relationships with their peers, practice skills across different activities and situations, and make steady progress toward their individual goals. 

Over time, learners are given opportunities to generalize what they have learned beyond the group- at home, school, in the community, and with friends and family. 

Our Social Skills Groups are available for different ages and skills, allowing us to create groups where learners can feel comfortable, successful, and appropriately challenged.
