Skills, Training, & Engagement with Peers

Social S.T.E.P.s is a series of therapeutic group sessions (mini camps) for students who are meeting academic standards but are struggling with social interactions. S.T.E.P.s teaches social and emotional skills to students through fun and interactive lessons. Increased social skills can lead to better classroom success, increased peer relationships and more in depth communication with family members. S.T.E.P.s is organized and implemented by Speech Language Pathologists who have received extensive training in the area of Social Thinking.

Camp goals include building social awareness, self-management, relationships skills and conversational skills.

Conversation Skills

Relationship Building
