Social Skills Lessons for Children with Autism

November 7, 2024

Socializing and communicating with others can be challenging for children with autism. Our social skills lessons are delivered in a friendly group format that includes role-play demonstrations and group activities. Parents and caregivers join each meeting in an adjacent session to learn how to support their child’s new skills.


Our social skills lessons are designed to help children with autism learn to:



  • Develop appropriate communication skills
  • Find friends and initiate relationships
  • Get along with peers and siblings
  • Address bullying and other difficult social situations
  • Communicate effectively and safely across a variety of social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat etc.)
  • and much more!
