Social Skills ABA Therapy

Children with autism often struggle in social settings, which can lead to withdrawal, difficulty making friends, and self-confidence challenges. ABA therapy for social skills is geared toward remedying this problem by teaching the child the skills they need to be socially active. Here is how PRISM Learning Center can make a difference in your child’s life.

About Our ABA Therapy for Social Skills

if you have an autistic child who is struggling with social engagement, you need to know that help is available. ABA therapy for social skills is a therapeutic approach that uses the principles of applied behavior analysis to help your loved one get the skills they need to function within social settings. The approach that we use at PRISM Learning Center is to break down these social skills into manageable steps that the child can easily master.

Our experts will use positive reinforcement to help the child understand these skills. Here are some of the most common skills that autistic children may need to learn to be more socially functional.

• Initiating and Sustaining Conversations: Your child may need to be able to initiate and sustain conversations with family members, peers, and friends. This process will typically involve learning how to share information as well as ask questions.
• Taking Turns: The child may also need to learn how to take turns during games, or other social contexts. This may also extend to understanding why it is important to take turns when having a conversation to be able to communicate effectively with peers.
• Non-Verbal Communication: Most human communication is non-verbal and when a child can master this skill, they can flourish in social contexts as they will be able to understand and communicate effectively.
• Empathy: Our ability to recognize other people’s feelings is critical in helping us bond with friends and family members. Using ABA therapy, a child can master the ability to empathize with other people.

Advantages of Qualified ABA Therapy for Social Skills

Without the right social skills, an autistic child will struggle to achieve independence and to be able to function properly within society. These help your autistic child to flourish in school, as they can understand and communicate effectively with peers and teachers. This in turn leads to them performing better in school and also serves to increase their self-confidence.

Another reason to consider ABA therapy is the fact that it will help to transform your child’s social life. This not only helps to accelerate learning for your child, but it also serves as a much-needed boost for their self-esteem.
