Social Skills Group
At a glance
– Trouble with social skills can make it hard for a child to connect with other children, peers, teachers and family members as well.
– Social skills require several pre-requisite skills – such as attending skills, eye contact, verbal/non-verbal communication as well as attending to social cues.
– A well-structured social skills group addresses these issues by using role-play, modeling and other research-backed methods.
Social skills are important for a child to develop and thrive in her/his surroundings. We help your child to develop different social skills that can be assets for a lifetime.
Structured opportunities based on standardised social skills curricula are followed and conversation building, social awareness, play skills etc. are emphasized.
