Alpine Learning Groups Social Skills Groups
provide children with Autism the opportunity to learn and
practice appropriate ways to conduct themselves in various
social situations. Children will learn to share, initiate
and join in play, and tolerate losing. They will also be
given opportunities to practice starting and maintaining
conversations, and participate in role play situations to
learn to deal with teasing and bullying. The program is
designed to increase the learner’s confidence and ability to
cope with various social situations.
Social Skills Groups are available for
ages 3-5, 5-7 or 7-9 and groups are matched based on ability
level and target goals. Sessions are 1.5 hours long and run
for 10 weeks beginning in the Fall. Each group is made up of
4-6 children and the staff to child ratio is 2:5. Summaries
are provided to parents that target skill areas to work on
at home. |
