Social Skills ABA in Garden Grove, CA

Learning social skills is often difficult for children, but children with autism struggle in unique ways. It’s more than making friends; it’s understanding how your child thinks and how their peers think. If your child feels challenged in social situations, Spectrum Behavioral Therapies can help. Our various ABA social skill-building programs cater to each client’s needs.

Garden Grove ABA Social Skill Program: Our Focuses

Our Garden Grove social skill therapy programs include:

Plans created around the child’s age and needs (such as stranger danger, complimenting, and responding to bullying)
Simulated circle time (for example, singing and dancing, calendar, answering the question of the day, responding in unison, show and tell)
Building conversation skills (e.g., starting, joining, and participating in conversation)
Interactive play (such as sharing, sportsmanship, and taking turns)

Play Dates in Safe Spaces

Building social skills with other children can feel overwhelming, which is why Spectrum Behavioral Therapies creates safe spaces for children with autism to interact with their peers. We facilitate play date pairs based on age, interests, level, and location. Behavioral technicians are available to offer support while helping each child progress in their individual goals.

Play dates are held at different spots, such as at home, in the clinic, and at a community center. We can also coordinate virtual get-togethers via Zoom.

Skills worked on within simulated play dates include:

Our Services

ABA Therapy

With its focus on both emotional and practical needs, ABA therapy addresses your child’s specific needs and provides various intervention strategies for growth and development.

Early Intervention

ABA early intervention focuses on very young children who have yet to develop patterns of behavior. These efforts can occur at home, at school, in the clinic, or even through telehealth.

Young Adults & Adult Services

ABA therapy isn’t only for children; adults with autism can experience significant growth as well. We will work with each client to cater to their needs and promote independent living.

School Preparation & Shadowing

Sometimes, the transition to school can be difficult. Our team can offer support and create a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) to ease the transition and identify deficits to work on specific skills.

Social Skills

Parent involvement is key to the success of the program and parents are encouraged to be an active participant throughout the child’s treatment.
