Building meaningful connections, confidence, and social competence through evidence-based programs
Social interactions come naturally to many people, but for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, understanding social cues, initiating conversations, and maintaining friendships can be a significant challenge. Our social skills training programs break down these complex social behaviors into teachable, learnable steps.
Using structured ABA techniques — including modeling, role-playing, video modeling, social stories, and natural environment teaching — our BCBAs and RBTs help clients practice and master social skills in safe, supportive settings before applying them in real-world situations.
Foundational social skills including joint attention, eye contact, turn-taking, parallel play, shared play, and basic greetings. We teach these skills through play-based interactions that feel natural and fun.
More complex social skills for school success: starting and maintaining conversations, reading body language, cooperative play, handling disagreements, and building friendships with peers.
Advanced social skills for navigating adolescence and adulthood: workplace interactions, dating and relationships, self-advocacy, digital communication etiquette, and community participation.
Develop the skills to make and keep friends, including joining group activities, showing empathy, and resolving conflicts.
Build the self-esteem and motivation to approach social situations independently, without avoidance or excessive anxiety.
One-on-one social skills instruction with an RBT, supervised by a BCBA. Ideal for building foundational skills before group settings.
Small-group social skills practice with peers of similar ages and abilities. The most natural way to practice real-world social interactions.
