Structured Social Learning Through Play, Conversation & Shared Activities
Small-group sessions give children opportunities to practice communication, flexible thinking, emotional regulation, cooperation and peer participation in a supportive setting.
Social Skills Are Best Practiced With Other People
Social groups create structured opportunities for children to learn and practice skills with peers. Activities can include games, creative projects, movement, role-play, conversation, shared tasks and guided problem-solving, with goals adjusted to the needs of the group.
