Social groups help children and teens learn to observe themselves and others in a group setting. These observations are vital to adjusting behavior allowing interactions with others (friends, family, peers) to be meaningful and meet social expectations.
​
All participants enrolled in social groups are screened by age and social functioning level to ensure they are placed in the appropriate group that will provide them with the most social growth potential. Each group uses a targeted curriculum and concepts specific to the needs of the group.
​
Social Groups meet once a week for one clinical hour per session. The last ten minutes of the session will be spent with parents and caregivers to review strategies and generalize the information learned during the session to continue in other environments.
