What Are Social Skills Groups?

Social Skills Groups provide children with structured, therapist-led opportunities to learn and practice essential social skills alongside their peers. These group-based programs are grounded in the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and designed to support real-world social learning in a safe, supportive environment.

Children participate in small groups matched by age and skill level, allowing them to practice communication, cooperation, emotional regulation, and peer interaction in meaningful, natural ways. While the activities are engaging and fun, each session follows a clinically guided curriculum with clear goals and measurable outcomes.

Who Can Benefit From Social Skills Groups

Social skills groups are designed for children who benefit from learning and practicing social interaction in a supportive, small-group setting.

These groups are ideal for children who:

- Want to build stronger peer interaction and friendship skills
- Need support with turn-taking, sharing, and cooperative play
- Experience challenges with emotional regulation in group settings
- Are working on conversation skills, perspective-taking, or problem-solving
- Benefit from guided practice in real-life social situations

Children are thoughtfully grouped based on age, developmental level, and social readiness to ensure meaningful peer interactions and a positive learning experience.

Participation is determined through an individualized assessment to ensure each child is matched with a group that supports their success.

How Social Skills Groups Work

Our social skills groups combine evidence-based ABA strategies with engaging, age-appropriate activities to support real-world social learning.
Each session may include:

Group-based instruction
Structured social activities
Guided play opportunities
Clinician-led feedback and modeling

Sessions are led by experienced clinicians, including Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and trained behavior technicians. Group sizes remain small to ensure individualized attention while promoting peer engagement.

Progress is continuously monitored, and skill targets are adjusted based on each child’s growth and participation.

Family collaboration is a key part of our social skills group model.

We believe that social learning is most effective when skills are supported beyond the group setting. Families receive:

Regular updates on group participation and skill development
Opportunities to review progress with the clinical team
Practical strategies to help reinforce social skills at home and in the community

When appropriate, coordination with your child’s broader care team may occur to support consistency across environments.

Our goal is to ensure families feel informed, supported, and confident in their child’s social development journey.
