Social skills groups are offered in-person. Social skills groups feature a variety of themes such as learning to engage in functional play with peers including turn taking, requesting, sharing, engaging in group routines, and more.
Social skills groups will help to further develop your child’s communication skills and daily living skills by learning and practicing through fun and exciting activities each week.
The focus of social skills groups is to help and support children to reach their potential in social and communication skills and to improve their daily living skills.
Social skills groups are offered in small group sizes and use Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) principles and evidence-based strategies, plus video modelling, role play, and homework to teach these various skills.

This 8-week family skill development group is specially designed for children with autism aged 2-4 years! In this group, we’ll be delving into the fundamentals of behavior, with a focus on fostering early communication and play skills. Children, accompanied by their caregivers, will have chances to practice these skills within the group and form connections with other participants. It’s crucial for a caregiver to attend each session with their child, ensuring a supportive learning environment. Our groups, supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and supported by two ABA Therapists, will run once per week. Join us on the journey of skill development and connection-building!
