🤝 Social Skills Support

Empowering Children to Connect, Communicate, and Thrive—Through Play and Partnership

At SMART ABA, we offer specialized social skills support for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental differences. Our program is thoughtfully designed to help children develop the foundational skills needed for meaningful relationships—in a way that honors their individuality, respects their autonomy, and engages them through joyful play.

We believe that learning social skills should never feel forced. That’s why our approach is both child-centered and assent-based—prioritizing each child’s comfort, preferences, and willingness to participate. By building trust and inviting collaboration, we ensure therapy is a positive and empowering experience.

🌟 Program Objectives:

Our social skills support focuses on helping your child:

• 🗣️ Recognize and interpret verbal and non-verbal communication

• 👫 Develop and maintain appropriate peer relationships

• 🧸 Expand interests in age-appropriate topics, toys, and play activities

• 💞 Improve recognition and understanding of others’ emotions

• 😌 Reduce stress and anxiety during social interactions

Through guided play, role modeling, structured lessons, and real-world practice, we support children in learning how to:

✅ Navigate social situations with increased confidence
✅ Express thoughts and emotions in ways that feel natural and safe
✅ Build friendships that are both fun and meaningful

At SMART ABA, we don’t just teach social skills—we help children enjoy using them. By creating a space where children feel respected, motivated, and included, we lay the groundwork for lifelong social success rooted in trust, play, and authentic connection.
