Social interaction is a core feature of human nature. For children that do not learn these social skills incidentally in the course of development, they need to be specifically taught. If your child is struggling to make friends and maintain relationships, social skills teaching can help.
Steinberg Behavior Solutions will conduct a social skills assessment by talking with parents and/or teachers and directly observing your child in a social setting, as part of your child’s comprehensive ABA program. Social skills are taught in the natural environment as much as possible to ensure generalization. Video modeling, theory of mind texts, and role-play scenarios are some methods used in the teaching of social skills.
Social interaction peer dyads are formed with siblings and peers when appropriate. Social skills training dramatically improves sibling and peer relationships. With increased success in making friends and maintaining relationships, your child will develop greater self-esteem and look forward to social activities.
Contact Steinberg Behavior Solutions today to see how social skills teaching can help your child with siblings at home and with friendships at school.
"Sarah started working with a student in our school who had selective mutism. The child did not speak for two and a half years in our school. Within the first week, the child said many words to Sarah and in the second week, the child started saying words to the teacher. Thank you Sarah for making a huge difference in this child’s life."
