Social Skills Training

Identifying areas where a person can improve their social abilities and competencies to improve friendships and develop health attachments to peers and adults.

Social skills training involves assessing specific areas of social functioning (including self-awareness and self-esteem) and then targeting deficits with drills and exercises to improve functioning. Social skills involve self-awareness and self-esteem, as well as body language, voice control, conversational skills and assertiveness. We assess each participant in these five areas and target our training where we believe a person struggles or experiences challenges in functioning.

We employ widely-used methodologies including 'Talkabout' and 'Social Thinking', as well as our own innovations. Programs range from board and video game groups as well as Lego building sessions.
