Who can benefit from Social Skills Groups?
Children who have trouble navigating social settings. Many of these children may have autism spectrum disorder (ASD), speech-language delays, ADD/ADHD or other developmental delays. One Child accepts children of all disabilities.
What type of skills are taught in a Social Skills Group?
One Child believes in he value of social skills groups to help children with Autism interact with their peers and navigate social settings. One Child’s Social Skills groups work on pragmatic language skills (e.g., joint attention, eye-contact, verbal exchanges), social awareness, problem solving, life skills (e.g., self regulation, self advocacy) and more. The skills taught are tailored to the individual needs of the members of each group.
How are the Skill Builder groups structured?
Each Social Skills Group meets once a week for 90 minutes for 10 weeks. One Child Social Skills Groups consist of no more than 6 participants and are conducted by a certified Speech LanguagePathologist (SLP) and Special Education Professional. Once a group is formed, all participants are required to attend for the entire semester. One Child does not add participants after the second week of the semester. Participants are grouped together based on their age and ability as determined by the SLP.
Cost: $50 per session.
***Scholarships may be available for families demonstrating need.***
