Teaching Social Skills in ABA


Listen Later

Social skills lessons are designed to strengthen social interaction and communication skills, which can be a challenge for our learners. Here, we discuss how to approach teaching social skills to effectively target social communication goals. Social skills vary depending on personality preferences, and we cover how to determine which ones to focus on with our learners.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, so it’s important to understand your learners’ values. We discuss how to balance caregiver input with a child’s own preferences, how to determine when it’s beneficial for a learner to develop specific social skills, and how to make teaching social skills fun and positive. 

What’s Inside:

  • How to approach teaching social skills
  • The importance of a learner’s values when teaching social skills
  • How to make teaching social skills fun
