The curriculum within each Social skills Group is developed to match the ability of each child. We attempt to promote individualized attention within a social setting so that every child will receive 1:1 attention from his/her Behavior Interventionist and when available, with typical peer support.

Our training programs are completely customized to meet each child’s specific needs and with each training session, parents receive guidance on how certain tasks are performed. Once a task is carried out properly, further reinforcement is used to solidify the learning and help each child increase confidence and independence. Parents will also learn specific intervention techniques from behavior and learning theories to effectively maintain and increase their child's newly acquired skills. In addition, parents also learn how to manage their own apprehensions and anxieties so they can work with their child. The parent training portion of each of our programs teaches parenting skills by providing intensive one-to-one parent training.
