Social Skills Groups
Social skills groups help children learn how to enhance their relationships with peers through more meaningful social interactions. Conversation skills, noticing body language, understanding the importance of context, flexible thinking, and reading social cues are taught directly and then practiced in the safe confines of the group. In addition, the regular structure of the sessions allows members to develop friendships within the group. Using physically active games and improv techniques, group members gain skills that give them the confidence to better handle social situations.
