Social Skills Group for Children With Autism

KING CITY, Ontario - Aug. 19, 2020 - PRLog -- Social skills are the rules, customs, and abilities that guide our interactions with other people and the world around us. In general, people tend to "pick up" social skills in the same way they learn language skills: naturally and easily. Over time they build a social "map" of how to in act in situations and with others.

For people with autism it can be harder to learn and build up these skills, forcing them to guess what the social "map" should look like.

Social skills development for people with autism involves:

- Direct or explicit instruction and "teachable moments" with practice in realistic settings
- Focus on timing and attention
- Support for enhancing communication and sensory integration
- Learning behaviors that predict important social outcomes like friendship and happiness
- A way to build up cognitive and language skills

Social skills groups at Adora Bright offer an opportunity for children with autism and other developmental disabilities to practice their social skills with each other and/or typical peers on a regular basis. If you'd like to learn more about this service, please visit our website or contact our friendly and knowledgeable team today. We look forward to speaking with you!
