Social Skills Training
Helping Children Build Friendships, Navigate Social Situations,
and Connect Confidently with Peers and Community.
Social Skills Training helps children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental delays understand social interactions and build meaningful connections with others. We focus on teaching the essential skills children need to make friends, participate in group activities, and feel confident in social settings like school, playgrounds, and family gatherings. Our goal is to help your child navigate the social world with understanding, empathy, and genuine connections.
