Social Summer
Overview
Social skills are the tools that enable people to communicate, learn, ask for help, get needs met in appropriate ways, get along with others, make friends, develop healthy relationships, and protect themselves.
Typical social skill deficits include: initiating interactions, responding to the initiations of others, maintaining eye contact, sharing enjoyment, reading the non-verbal cues of others, and taking another person’s perspective.
Social skills groups are recommended for children with a variety of presenting concerns and diagnostic conditions. ASD, ADHD, and anxiety are common diagnostic formulations in which social skills deficits are present.
