Social Skills Group
Who: Girls and Boys ages 7-10
This psychotherapeutic group focuses on the ABC's of social skills for girls and boys with symptoms or diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD), or PDD-like symptoms, who experience difficulties in the areas of expressive communication and social interaction. Through the use of games, arts and crafts, and role-play, boys and girls learn better conversational skills, learn the nuances of verbal and nonverbal communication, develop appropriate assertiveness and cooperative play skills, differentiate between being a leader versus a follower, learn appropriate telephone etiquette, and learn how to develop and build friendships and relationships. An example of an activity: boys and girls use puppets to learn how to find positive qualities in a friend, and learn how to develop and maintain friendships through the concepts of giving, taking, sharing, listening, and complimenting others. Educational information is also provided to parents to assist their child in social situations, school, and at home.
For dates/times and any additional information and/or to reserve a seat for your child, please call Advanced Behavioral Solutions at (847) 496-4693 or email us at help@advancedbehavioralsolutions.com
