Frequently Asked Questions

Who can benefit from social skills training?

Social skills training benefits children who struggle with making friends, understanding social cues, managing social anxiety, or navigating peer interactions. It's particularly helpful for children with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, or those who are shy or socially isolated. Any child who wants to improve their social competence can benefit.

Are sessions individual or in groups?

We offer both individual and group sessions. Individual sessions focus on building foundational skills and addressing specific challenges. Group sessions provide essential practice opportunities with peers. Many children benefit from a combination of both, starting with individual sessions and transitioning to groups as skills develop.

How long does it take to see improvement?

Progress varies by child, but many families notice improvements within 8-12 weeks of consistent participation. Social skills development is gradual, and children need time to practice and internalize new skills. Regular attendance and practice at home and school accelerate progress.

What happens in a typical social skills group session?

Sessions typically include a warm-up activity, direct instruction on a specific skill, role-play practice, structured games or activities to apply the skill, and a review discussion. We use visual supports, social stories, and positive reinforcement. Each session ends with a take-home activity to practice the skill during the week.
