Social Skills Groups
New! LittleStar is excited to announce the expansion of its services beyond solely ABA therapy to include additional supports for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families.
Many individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder may have difficulty interpreting social cues when interacting with others, which can sometimes be a challenge when making friends. LittleStar’s new social skills groups are specifically designed for children and teens who are struggling to connect with their same-age peers. Groups will target a variety of social skills, including but not limited to:
• Conversation skills
• Staying on topic
• Understanding non-verbal cues
• Self-esteem
• Making and keeping friends
• Assertiveness
