Social Skills
We want your child to have the skills they need to access and develop meaningful friendships and connections throughout their lives. This may include siblings, family members, and peers.
What are some social skills
Soaring Sprouts can work on?
Resolving Conflict Skills
Self-advocacy is a crucial life skill that all children and adults require throughout their life. Soaring Sprouts encourages children to find and use their voice to speak up for themselves when social scenarios feel unfair.
Joint Attention and Social Awareness
Joint Attention is a life skill that we aim to teach children impacted by ASD to increase awareness for others, respond to their name when called upon, comment on what others are doing nearby in the environment, and much more!
Turn Taking
Every child is unique. One step we may work on together are turn taking with peers or siblings in social games, tolerating winning or losing when playing with others, and much more.
Safety Awareness Skills
Maintaining safety both in the home, school, and community are crucial life skills. At Soaring Sprouts, we strive to teach safe versus unsafe scenarios, stranger danger, answering personal safety information about self (e.g., name, mom’s phone number, etc.), identifying good and bad qualities in friends, and critical life skills to maintain your child’s safety.
Reciprocal Conversations
We want all children and teenagers to communicate with their families, peers, and society in meaningful ways. We strive to build conversational skills on preferred or non-preferred topics when applicable.
Self-Regulation and Tolerating Resilience
Life doesn’t always go the way we hope or plan for it to. We want all children to develop self-regulation techniques to handle life’s disappointments, tolerating rejection during play, compromising with others, understanding emotions in ourselves and others, and providing sympathy or support for those close to us.
