Learning how to understand and behave with others is an essential life lesson for all children. Effective social functioning - the ability to be accepted and to cope in society -- requires an individual to be socially competent.
Main components of Social Competence:

1. Social skills
2. Emotional regulation
3. Social cognition
4. Relationship development
5. Behavioral regulation

These components help to clarify that social competence is not simply a result of good social skills or demonstrating good behaviors, but rather, the result of a set of dynamic, interrelated concepts. For example, an individual who displays no maladaptive behavior may still experience difficulty forming peer relationships due to deficits in their knowledge of social skills; another individual may understand the use of social skills and not display any maladaptive behavior but may have trouble with social relationships due to the lack of social cognition.

Our individually customized program covers all main components of social competence in order for each child to learn the skills and utilize them in natural environments. We offer both "one-on-one" and "group" programs.

Each program includes:

1. Assessment
2. Social Competence sessions taught by our staff
3. Monthly session taught by our program director
4. Monthly meetings/training for parents
5. Program reports
6. Playdate observation (optional)
