Social Communication Skills

Our team of experts at SPI provides social communication skills to plan and apply social skills treatments for people with developmental or physical disabilities and medical injuries. This program is designed to maintain clients’ functional life skills and enhance their quality of life using systematic treatment plans and social activities.

Therapy focuses on helping individuals learn to initiate a conversation, respond to greetings, comment appropriately, listen actively, share interests, provide compliments, and request assistance.

We provide social skills groups for both children and adults.

With children: we teach children with developmental disabilities, including Autism Spectrum Disorder ‘ASD’ practical strategies to engage in meaningful social activities with peers, participate in social play, become more independent, and manage frustration/outbursts in the absence of appropriate social skills.

With adults: we work with adults who had a stroke or other injuries to restore and recover their remaining skills/abilities to improve their social life, well-being, social communication skills, remain independent, and integrate into the community if possible. Our experts apply their knowledge to engage patients in therapeutic activities and teach them effective strategies to cope with stress, anxiety, or frustration related to restrictions and limitations caused by their injuries.

Training can occur in different settings as needed. The participants/families will receive extensive training to apply and maintain learned skills in daily activities.
