Social Skills & Life Skills Training
Social skills are essential for building meaningful relationships, navigating social situations, and fostering self-confidence. Our Social Skills therapy program is designed to help children of all ages improve their social skills and thrive in social & group settings
​
During the Social Skills Group program, staff will utilize ABA to increase your child's age appropriate social skills through a variety of play and group activities. Before beginning our social skills program, the lead BCBA will work with you and your child to determine what specific social, play, and communication skills will be targeted for each child, while still working in a group setting. Using evidence-based practices, Sensational Kidz provides social groups with similar-aged peers to build the foundation for essential skills, such as conversational skills, turn-taking, and listener responding skills.
​
Over the course of this program, parents will receive detailed reports and strategies to use at home to help their child be successful in other social settings. Some children might benefit from one-on-one therapy emphasizing social skills, while others benefit from a group setting with many opportunities for peer interactions. Some children may require a combination of both direct and group therapy to improve social skills. Based on the needs, an individualized plan will be developed for every child to facilitate great gains and progress. Starting Fall 2019, we will have two social skills groups - one focusing on beginning social and play skills and the other focusing on more advanced social skills.
Celebrating All Festivals and Bringing Community Together
We also believe in the importance of celebrating diversity and fostering a sense of community. We celebrate all festivals and cultural traditions, providing children with opportunities to learn about and appreciate different cultures. Through shared experiences and collaborative activities, we bring children, families, and therapists together, promoting inclusivity and unity within our community.
Life Skills Development for Children
​
In today’s world, equipping children with essential life skills is key to their success and well-being. Life skills empower children to navigate the complexities of daily life, make healthy choices, and achieve their full potential. Our therapy programs are designed to help children develop practical life skills in a supportive and nurturing environment.
​
We take a strengths-based approach to life skills therapy. Our experienced therapists work collaboratively with children and their families to identify areas of strength and areas for growth. Our therapy sessions may include:
-
Skill-building activities and games to reinforce key concepts
-
Role-playing and real-life simulations to practice life skills in context
-
Visual aids, worksheets, and handouts to support learning and retention
-
Parent/caregiver coaching and support to facilitate skill transfer and generalization
