Social Skills Training Groups
Our structured training groups for 6-8 children per group are two hours in length and are specifically designed for children with a diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Activities simultaneously facilitate work on social language, social problem solving, and basic social interaction skills
- Groups are offered for different levels of training needs
Behavior Coaching
Coaches work with your child in the community in almost any social setting on a variety of social skills
Our Behavior Coaches are experienced in:
- Teaching social skills and managing difficult behaviors
- Using behavioral strategies for prompting
- Providing incentives for engaging in new behaviors in familiar and unfamiliar settings
Group Interactive Yoga
STAR Program, Inc. now provides a stress reduction segment in our social skills training groups. This intervention is designed to teach children how to relax their body and mind using yoga, creative movement and breathing techniques so that they can more effectively deal with the social demands around them.
STAR is investigating the impact of this intervention approach for increasing body awareness, relaxation skills and for reducing stress-induced, maladaptive behavior.
