What to Look For in Social Skills Groups

Social skills groups bring together children with similar developmental levels to practice social interaction, communication, friendship skills, and emotional regulation in structured, supportive settings.

  • Appropriate peer grouping (age and skill level)
  • Evidence-based curriculum
  • Trained facilitators
  • Parent involvement component
  • Opportunities for generalization

Insurance: Coverage varies. Some groups are covered as speech therapy or behavioral health. Schools may offer social skills through IEPs. Private groups are often out-of-pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age is appropriate for social skills groups?
Groups exist for all ages, from preschool through adulthood. Most beneficial when matched with developmentally similar peers.
How is a social skills group different from therapy?
Groups provide real peer interaction practice, while individual therapy teaches skills in isolation. Both are valuable and complementary.
How often should my child attend?
Most groups meet weekly for 8-12 week sessions. Consistency is important for skill development.
Will my child be with neurotypical peers?
It depends on the program. Some groups include only children with autism, while others integrate neurotypical peer models.
