Supporting connection, confidence, and emotional growth
Every child wants to connect, play, laugh, make friends, and feel understood. But for some, social moments can feel confusing or overwhelming. That’s where our ABA Social Skills program comes in.
Each session combines structure with fun to help children develop and strengthen communication, emotional regulation, and relationship skills that last well beyond the classroom.
Children learn at their own pace in a safe, supportive space where every success counts — whether it’s taking a turn, joining a group, or managing a tough feeling. Using evidence-based ABA strategies, our team helps each child grow more confident every day— at home, at school, and in the community.
Families often share that what they value most is how this program supports everyone, not just their child. It’s about more than what happens in session — it’s about helping families bring these skills into daily routines, relationships, and real-world moments.

Fall Programs
Our Fall ABA Social Skills program offers a range of groups designed to meet children where they are in their social development. Whether your child is learning foundational play and communication skills or building more advanced social thinking and self-regulation strategies, our team can help identify the group that's the best fit.
Children build foundational play and social skills through therapist-guided games and activities. They practice sharing, taking turns, joining peers, and participating in group play.
This small-group program helps children build functional communication skills through play, daily routines, and peer interaction. Low staff-to-child ratios support individualized goals, and the program includes a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) consultation.
Using the Secret Agent Society® curriculum, children build skills in emotional regulation, friendship, and social problem solving. Interactive activities and an online platform reinforce learning at home and in sessions.
Using the We Thinkers® curriculum, children develop self-awareness and learn to understand the thoughts and perspectives of others. Stories, games, and interactive lessons help build a strong foundation for social learning.
Using the Social Detective® curriculum, children learn to recognize social cues, interpret situations, and make thoughtful social decisions. Group activities help strengthen problem-solving skills and positive peer interactions.
Using the Superflex® curriculum, children develop flexible thinking, self-awareness, and self-regulation. Through stories and activities, they practice adapting to challenges and responding to everyday situations with confidence.
What Progress Might Look Like
Every child’s journey is unique. These stories are examples of the kind of growth we often see, though progress looks different for every child.
- After joining our Play group, one child who used to play quietly on their own began asking other kids, “Can I play with you?”. Building confidence, friendships, and joy in shared play.
- After completing our Emotional Regulation group, another child surprised their family by using deep breaths and gentle hand squeezes to stay calm during a stressful moment at home. A small but powerful moment of independence.
We celebrate every win, from the first shared smile to the first self-calming moment.
What Parents Gain
We know that real growth happens when families are part of the journey. That’s why every program includes tools, updates, and opportunities to connect.
- Parent Letters: Weekly updates with what your child learned and how to keep practicing at home.
- Newsletters: Optional photo and activity highlights (for families who’ve provided consent) so you can see their joy in action.
- Group Parent Meetings (10-week groups): Collaborative check-ins where families review progress, see examples from sessions, and learn how to use strategies in daily life. These meetings also create a sense of community. Parents often tell us this is where they finally meet people who truly “get it.”
Getting Started
Every family begins with a pre-screening form so our team can recommend the best-fit group based on your child’s strengths, comfort, and goals. Once submitted, one of our staff members will connect with you to walk through the next steps and scheduling options.
