In Center Social Groups

Social Skills Groups
Autism Behavioral Center’s Social Skills Group (SSG) provides structured, center‑based ABA programming designed to help clients build meaningful social relationships, strengthen communication skills, and practice cooperative interactions with peers. Offers small‑group activities that target independence, emotional regulation, conversational skills, and appropriate peer engagement.Our center provides an ideal environment for social learning, offering access to a playground, basketball court, open fields, mini‑golf course, and indoor activity spaces. Clients participate in hands‑on experiences such as games, arts and crafts, baking, adaptive exercise, reading activities, and snack preparation. These activities are intentionally designed using ABA principles to teach skills such as initiating play, sharing materials, engaging in friendly conversations, cleaning up after oneself, and responding to others’ interests. Our center is a great place to plan to meet up both on Saturdays and during the week!
Themed Weeks and Activities
Taking full advantage of our amazing center, each Saturday, clients engage in group activities such as games, arts and crafts, baking, and more to improve those vital social skills. Themed activities make every week feel like a brand‑new adventure. Clients might soar through superhero missions, explore underwater worlds, mix up holiday‑themed treats, join in creative art therapy, or participate in lively language‑building games. SSG sessions occur both on Saturdays and during the week, allowing clients to practice social skills in a consistent, supportive environment that blends structured teaching with naturalistic peer interaction


Community Outings
It doesn't stop there! Our SSG Coordinators plan outings to extend learning beyond the center and give children opportunities to explore the world around them while practicing real‑life social and communication skills. Visits may include trips to local farms, blueberry picking, meeting police and fire teams, or exploring other exciting community spaces. These adventures help children make meaningful connections, experience new environments, and build confidence interacting with the world.
