How Do Our Social Skills Groups Work?

Each group gives children an opportunity to socialize with similar-aged peers in a small group setting. Individualized goals are selected for each participant, new skills are taught through guided activities and practice with peers, and skills are generalized so children can use them at home, at school and in the community. Caregivers receive ideas for practising skills between sessions.
