Social skills are often taught by breaking down the skills into small, teachable steps
Therapists use role play and modeling to teach appropriate social interactions. The therapist or caregiver models the behavior, and the child practices it in structured sessions. Repetition and feedback help reinforce the desired behavior.
Therapists integrate social skills training into the natural environments where the learner would typically interact with others. This helps the learner generalize skills to real-life situations.
Social skills training is individualized, focusing on each person's specific needs. Goals might include skills such as turn-taking, conversation skills, understanding body language and social cues, or developing empathy.
The goal is to help learners navigate the complexities of social interactions and build meaningful relationships.
