Social Skills Development
Social skills are the foundation for getting along with others and interacting appropriately with one's environment. Most people quickly and easily acquire basic social skills such as taking turns or initiating conversation. However, for many individuals with disabilities, the process is often much more difficult and their lack of social skills often precludes them from establishing meaningful social relationships.
While most children learn these basic skills simply by exposure to social situations, children with disabilities such as autism, developmental disabilities, other neurological disorders and brain injuries often need to be taught skills explicitly. Adults with social skills deficits often find it difficult to function well in job settings and to participate successfully in community activities.
Bancroft NeuroHealth utilizes its unique clinical expertise to provide extensive social skills training, both through specific programming and continuous incidental teaching through activities of daily living.
