Social Skills
For many children with autism, the hardest part of the day isn't academics, it's recess. The unwritten rules of friendship, the speed of group conversation, the regulation it takes to stay in the game, these are skills, and skills can be taught.
How our program works
We run small social skills groups (typically 2-4 children) matched by age, language ability, and social goals. We also offer 1:1 social coaching for kids who aren't ready for a group yet, or who need targeted work alongside their group.
What we cover
-
Joining and leaving conversations
-
Reading facial expressions and body language
-
Handling disagreements without melting down or shutting down
-
Perspective-taking and theory of mind
-
Conversational reciprocity (not just answering, but asking back)
-
Self-advocacy and asking for help
-
Coping with teasing, exclusion, and social mistakes
What parents tell us
The most common piece of feedback we hear: "My child came home from a birthday party for the first time and didn't say it was awful." That's the goal. Confidence, connection, and a kid who looks forward to seeing other kids.
