and Parent Support
About Our Social Skills Groups & Parent Support
Our Social Skills Groups help children build confidence in communication, friendship, and peer interaction through supportive, age appropriate sessions led by our clinical team. Caregivers are invited to join a connected parent support group for guidance, practical strategies, and shared encouragement. This model helps families feel supported and empowered building skills for children while giving parents connections and tools to carry over at home.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Social Skills Groups & Parent Support
What are Social Skills Groups?
Social Skills Groups provide structured, small-group opportunities for children to practice communication, cooperation, friendship skills, problem-solving, and peer play and interaction in a supportive environment.
Who are Social Skills Groups designed for?
Groups are designed for children and adolescents who benefit from guided peer interaction, including children with autism and related developmental or social communication challenges. Groups are formed based on age, skill level, and social goals.
What skills are taught in Social Skills Groups?
Skills may include conversation skills, turn-taking, flexibility, play and games, emotional awareness, perspective-taking, friendship skills, and managing social challenges in real-world situations.
How are groups structured?
Groups are led by trained clinicians and follow evidence-based strategies. Sessions include structured activities, guided practice, and opportunities to generalize skills with peers.
Do Social Skills Groups replace ABA therapy?
Social Skills Groups may complement ABA therapy but do not replace individualized, medically necessary ABA services. Our team can help determine the best combination of services for your child.
When do groups occur?
Groups meet one evening per week for 90 minutes over 14 weeks. New groups begin quarterly, and the specific weekday/time is selected based on group consensus, so we can match families with an option that fits their schedules as closely as possible.
