“Our social skills services for children, adolescents, and adults are based on the premise that social skills (e.g. communication skills, active listening, friend-making, reading non-verbal social cues, networking abilities) are essential life skills that foster success, happiness, and health. Our goal is to teach these skills in a supportive and nurturing environment, with the expectation that the skills will be generalized to real-world experiences and relationships.”

This involves identifying the root cause of a conflict and developing a plan to address it.
Social interactions are such a normal part of the day that most people stop noticing them. You chat with a coworker, wave to a neighbor, text a friend, or share a meal with family.
