Social skills are the abilities that allow children to interact effectively with others, including sharing, taking turns, understanding body language, and communicating emotions. These skills are essential for building relationships, resolving conflicts, and navigating social environments like school or play.

Who Needs Social Skills Support?

Children who may need help developing social skills include those who:

• Struggle with communication or making friends.
• Show difficulty in understanding social cues (e.g., facial expressions or tone of voice).
• Have conditions like autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, or social anxiety.
• Exhibit behavioral challenges, such as frequent conflicts with peers or poor emotional regulation.

Early support can help these children thrive socially and emotionally.

What to Expect

• Assessment: A therapist assesses the child’s social skills.
• Therapy: Includes individual sessions or group therapy where children practice skills like communication and emotional understanding.
• Play-Based Learning: Activities like role-playing or games help build skills in a fun way.
• Parental Guidance: Parents learn to reinforce skills at home.

Potential Outcomes

• Better communication and friendships.
• Improved emotional regulation.
• Greater confidence in social situations
