What Is A Social Skills Class?
Social skills instruction focuses specifically on helping children understand their own and others emotions, developing improved skills to communicate their feelings and recognize others feelings, knowing how to start and maintain interactions appropriately and understanding other people’s perspectives.
What are the benefits of social skills classes?
Children who attend the social skills classes find new ways to communicate and express themselves, learn to better understand basic communication rules, better interpret social cues, and learn improved ways to interact with their peers, family and community.
Who can attend social skills classes?
While the main focus at Autism Works is to provide support for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders and their families, our social skills classes are open to any individual with social skills deficits that are able to participate independently regardless of diagnoses.
How are the classes instructed?
Our social skills classes are led by highly qualified instructors who are passionate about working with your child. Classes are taught in a group setting with peers.
