Helping Children Connect, Belong, and Shine

Friendships matter. Confidence matters. That’s why our social skills programs for autism create a safe and joyful space where children can learn how to connect with others, express themselves, and build real relationships.

Led by compassionate professionals, our social skills classes for kids help them understand emotions, navigate social situations, and find their voice among peers. Every group is more than a lesson—it’s a community.

Social Skills Group

At Go Behavioral, we offer specialized social skills programs for autism that help children and teens connect, communicate, and build lasting friendships. Through our structured autism social skills training, participants learn essential life skills in a supportive, fun, and engaging environment.

Why Social Skills Training Matters?

For many children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), social communication and interaction can be challenging. Difficulties with conversation, reading social cues, making friends, and understanding emotions can impact their ability to thrive in school, at home, and in the community.

Our ASD social skills training programs are designed to directly teach and practice these critical abilities through evidence-based techniques, helping children feel more confident and capable in their daily lives.

What Our Social Skills Classes for Kids Include:

  • Small Group Sessions

Children are matched by age and skill level to maximize learning and peer interaction.

  • Evidence-Based Curriculum

Our sessions use structured programs based on ABA principles, social stories, role-playing, and group activities.

  • Focus Areas:
  • Starting and maintaining conversations
  • Sharing, turn-taking, and cooperation
  • Reading and responding to social cues
  • Problem-solving in social situations
  • Understanding emotions (self and others)
  • Building and maintaining friendships

Skills are generalized through play, team games, group projects, and community outings when appropriate.
