Social Skills Groups for Children with Autism

At Expectations Reimagined, we offer structured, supportive social skills groups for school-aged children who need help developing meaningful peer connections. Using a play-based, naturalistic approach rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), our groups help children build confidence, communication skills, and emotional resilience — all in a fun, engaging environment.

What Our Social Skills Groups Teach

Led by experienced behavior analysts and registered behavior technicians, each group is carefully designed to help children:

  • Initiate and maintain conversations

  • Practice turn-taking, sharing, and cooperative play

  • Improve emotional regulation and coping strategies

  • Interpret and respond to social cues

  • Resolve peer conflicts effectively

  • Develop self-advocacy and flexible thinking

We meet children where they are developmentally and use age-appropriate activities that support both individual growth and peer learning.

Who Is This Program For?

Our social skills program is ideal for children who:

  • Struggle to make or keep friends

  • Have difficulty reading social cues or body language

  • Become overwhelmed or frustrated in group settings

  • Tend to dominate conversations or shy away from interaction

  • Need support navigating the social demands of school or extracurriculars

Children receive individualized feedback and positive reinforcement in a small-group format, allowing them to build skills that generalize to home, school, and community settings.

What Makes Our Social Skills Groups Different?

  • Small group sizes for personalized support

  • Evidence-based teaching using naturalistic ABA strategies

  • Emphasis on generalization — so children apply what they learn beyond the clinic

  • Focus on real-life skills like conversation, compromise, and emotional flexibility

  • Collaboration with families and caregivers to reinforce growth at home

We believe that building social success is more than roleplay — it's practicing skills in real time, with real peers, in a safe space.
