What This Service Includes

Our Social Skills Groups are designed to help children learn and practice essential social behaviors in a structured, uplifting group setting. We begin with an individualized assessment to understand your child’s strengths, challenges, and social development goals. Based on this, we match them with an age-appropriate group that fits their learning needs and comfort level.

Each session is led by trained ABA therapists who guide activities, games, role-play scenarios, and peer interactions. Children learn skills such as sharing, waiting, turn-taking, conversation, emotional expression, understanding social cues, and building play or classroom friendships.

Sessions blend structured teaching with natural opportunities to connect and practice. Therapists provide prompts, reinforcement, and gentle support, while giving children room to explore and grow socially.

Families receive ongoing updates and suggestions for practicing skills at home, helping children carry what they learn into real-life situations.

This program is overseen by BCBAs and built for families looking for collaborative, evidence-based support that strengthens communication and peer relationships.

Frequently asked questions

How do social skills groups work?

Children participate in small, therapist-led groups where they learn and practice communication, cooperation, emotional regulation, and friendship-building through activities and guided interaction.

What skills are taught?

Depending on the group, skills may include conversation, turn-taking, sharing, understanding facial expressions, problem-solving, teamwork, emotional expression, and playing cooperatively.

Who can join a social skills group?

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or similar social-communication challenges may qualify. We conduct an assessment to ensure each child is placed in the right group for their developmental level.

Are social skills groups covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by insurance plan and state. Spirit ABA helps families check benefits and navigate potential funding options.
