social skills training

 Social skills are those communication, problem-solving, decision making, self-management, and peer relations abilities that 

allow one to initiate and maintain positive social relationships with others.  

Social skills are important in enabling a child to have and maintain positive interactions with others. These skills are required in making 

and developing friendships. Good social skills can improve your child’s psychological and emotional well-being.

For children with social skills challenges, many social situations

can be frustrating and difficult. They may misinterpret social

cues and mistake others’ emotions. Other children may have

limited skills for dealing with teasing and bullies. Limited social

opportunities can leave some children feeling isolated, without

the skills to make and maintain friendships.
 

Social skills groups provide the opportunity to teach children

specific skills within a group of their peers. Social skills are

practised during the sessions and children receive feedback to

improve their abilities.
 

Social skills groups are also fun! Children and teens enjoy

belonging to a group of peers, sharing experiences, and playing

games.
 

These are fun filled, therapeutic group sessions led by our Psychologists involving activities such as role play,

audio-visual social stories, discussions, games and art and

craft activities targeted specifically to develop socio-emotional

skills

Social skills training uses strategies such as role-playing,  social stories to develop your child’s play skills

 (turn-taking or sharing a toy), conversational skills (verbal and non-verbal language), 

emotional skills (managing emotions and having empathy for others) 

and problem-solving skills (dealing with a conflict or making a decision).

Our social skills training follows the basic structural and implementation outline:

01. We identify the problem 

02. We set the goals for your child

 03. Modelling the expected skill 

04. Role-playing of the expected skill

 05. Feedback

 06. Homework

Through our programme, we would hand in hand build your child’s social competencies in a very fun and meaningful way. 

We conduct Social Skills sessions twice a week in our Early Intervention Services and every Saturday for other kids in 2 categories
