Social Skills

We target social language skills using neurodiversity affirming approaches. We work with families to identify strengths and build skills based on these strengths. Social skills include using language with a variety of communication partners, across a variety of settings to effectively communicate. These skills are essential because they allow us to build relationships, communicate functionally and understand others.

​

• use of verbal and nonverbal communication, including body language and augmentative and alternative communication methods

• interpreting and reacting to others feelings

• engaging with peers and adults in a prosocial way, such as greeting and turn taking

• using language to functionally engage with other

• identifying and advocating for one's needs in a variety of situations
