Life & Social Skills

Developing life and social skills is a critical part of being able to mature and take part in society.

Understanding the social cues of others, being able to form friendships and relationships and understanding how to regulate the emotions in difficult situations or periods of sensory overload is important to facilitate growth and development of personhood.

Studies have shown that developing social and emotional skills is vital to promote a positive social identity.
