Social Skills Development

Social skills support helps children with autism understand social situations, communicate their needs, build relationships, and participate more comfortably with others. The goal is not to make a child “act less autistic,” but to help them develop skills that increase independence, confidence, and meaningful connections.

• Understanding social communication
• Learning how to take turns and share
• Understanding emotions and perspectives
• Understanding back and forth conversation skills
• Developing play skills. 
• Supporting and building friendships and peer interactions. 
• Supporting sensory needs during social situations
