Social Skills Groups at Autism Family Support
At Autism Family Support, we understand that social interactions can be challenging for many autistic children. That’s why our Social Skills Groups offer a safe, nurturing space where children can explore friendships, build confidence, and practice essential communication skills—at their own pace and in a way that celebrates who they are.
These small group sessions are carefully designed to help children feel understood, included, and empowered. Led by experienced facilitators who are trained in autism-friendly approaches, each session is structured around fun, purposeful activities that help children learn how to interact, express themselves, and connect with others meaningfully.
Circle Time Conversations: A warm, welcoming space to practice turn-taking, active listening, and sharing ideas with peers.
Role-Playing Games: Playful scenarios where children explore social roles, express emotions, and learn empathy by acting out real-life situations.
Team-Building Challenges: Cooperative tasks like building towers or solving puzzles that promote patience, problem-solving, and collaboration.
Emotion Recognition Games: Engaging visual and movement-based activities that help children understand facial expressions, body language, and feelings.
Interactive Storytelling: Guided stories where kids contribute characters, actions, and endings—encouraging creativity, sequencing, and expressive language.
We know that every child is unique, which is why we keep group sizes small and tailor activities to match each child’s needs and comfort level. Our facilitators support children gently and consistently, helping them learn how to navigate social settings with confidence—from playgrounds to classrooms to family gatherings.
Social connection is vital for emotional well-being and lifelong development. Our Social Skills Groups go beyond teaching behaviors—they help children feel accepted, valued, and capable. These sessions also offer a beautiful chance for kids to form friendships with others who truly understand their experiences, creating bonds that can last beyond the sessions.
Whether your child is learning how to say hello, take turns, or simply be themselves around others, they’ll find encouragement, patience, and celebration at Autism Family Support.
