社交技能組
自閉症譜系障礙 (ASD) 兒童比其他兒童需要更長的時間來學習社交技能。 ASD 兒童難以掌握的一些技能包括:
對話技巧——例如,選擇談論什麼或使用什麼肢體語言
遊戲技巧——例如,輪流玩遊戲或分享玩具
情緒技能——例如,管理情緒和理解他人的感受
解決問題的技能——例如,處理衝突或在社交場合做出決定。
社交技能可以幫助您的孩子結交朋友、向他人學習並發展愛好和興趣。這些技能還可以幫助處理家庭關係並給您的孩子一種歸屬感。
我們的社交技能小組由訓練有素的從業人員協助,旨在幫助所有年齡段的兒童發展和提高他們的社交和情感技能。
根據各組參與者的年齡,每個組通常包括:
點對點互動
轉接
開發假裝遊戲
合作與談判
