Social skills: getting along can be learned
Saying hello, joining a game, sharing, losing without getting angry or asking for help. We teach these skills step by step, in small groups with real practice.
How we help
Social and adaptive skills let children relate to others and adapt to their environment: reading other people’s emotions, taking turns, resolving a disagreement, following game rules or asking for what they need. Some children pick them up on their own; others need them taught explicitly.
We work in individual sessions and in small groups where children practice with peers, guided by a therapist. What they learn is carried over to recess, home and parties with support from the family and the school.
It can help if your child…
- Children who struggle to make or keep friends
- Trouble taking turns or losing a game
- Autistic children or children with ADHD
- Extreme shyness or isolation
- Frequent conflicts at recess

Why in a group?
Because getting along is practiced with others. A small group is a safe place to rehearse before taking it to the classroom.
Does my child need a diagnosis?
Not necessarily. It helps any child with social difficulties; if we see signs of something more, we’ll recommend an evaluation.
What ages do you work with?
We group children by age and skill level, from preschool to teens.
