Social Skills Training: Building Confidence and Relationships
Social skills training focuses on helping children with ASD improve their social interactions and relationships. This type of therapy teaches essential skills like making eye contact, starting and maintaining conversations, and understanding social cues. Social skills training can take place in individual or group sessions, depending on the child’s needs.

- Therapeutic Sessions
- Therapy may take place one-on-one or in group settings, allowing children to practice and role-play social situations.
