We use proven methods to help children grasp social interactions.
Our skilled board certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) and behavior technicians (BTs) simplify specific skills and goals, like taking turns or understanding tone of voice.

We use games and role playing to teach children how to share toys, join play, and take turns. These activities help them observe and practice everyday social situations.
Social Situations Made Simple
Making friends is important for your child’s growth. Our Social Skills Programs teach skills to increase self-confidence.
In small groups, your child learns to follow group instructions.
Our caring team of experts helps your child develop their skills. We start by evaluating them and setting goals for success. Then, we work on important skills they can practice.
Children on the autism spectrum sometimes need help with different social situations. We’re here to make it easier. Over time, your child will learn the appropriate skills for various social situations.
Social Skills Programs Often Include:
 |
Discussion, modeling, role play, and positive reinforcement |

Creative projects and enjoyable indoor and outdoor activities |
The social skills your child gains with ABA can teach them the usual behaviors needed for success in school and life. Our methods are scientific and proven, helping thousands of families overcome autism-related challenges.
