Social Skills Groups at Autism Family Support
Our Social Skills Groups provide a nurturing environment for autistic children and children with special needs to develop essential social, teamwork, and communication skills. These small group sessions are designed to support children in a fun, structured setting where they can build confidence, form friendships, and learn the art of interacting positively with others. Through guided play and interaction, we aim to empower children with the tools they need to navigate social situations with ease and joy.
Each session includes engaging, targeted activities like:
- Circle Time Conversations: A group activity where children practice taking turns, listening, and sharing thoughts with peers.
- Role-Playing Games: Fun scenarios where children learn and practice communication skills, emotional expression, and empathy.
- Team-Building Challenges: Activities such as building a group project or completing puzzles that promote teamwork and collaboration.
- Emotion Recognition Games: Interactive exercises to help children recognize and understand different emotions in themselves and others.
- Interactive Storytelling: A creative session where children practice listening, responding, and narrating as they work together to tell a story.
Our experienced facilitators guide these activities to encourage positive interactions, helping children develop skills such as making eye contact, taking turns, using polite words, and managing personal space. The small group size allows each child to receive focused attention, while the supportive environment enables them to feel comfortable as they learn.
At Autism Family Support, we believe in the power of community and connection. Our Social Skills Groups not only provide valuable learning experiences but also give children the opportunity to form meaningful relationships with peers who understand them. Join us to watch your child build confidence, friendships, and vital social skills that will support them in all areas of life.
