Social Skills Therapy

Social interaction is an essential part of a child's development and emotional well-being. However, children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, social anxiety, and communication difficulties often struggle with understanding social cues, making friends, and engaging in conversations. Social Skills Therapy is designed to help children develop, practice, and refine their social abilities in a structured and supportive environment.

At Maqsad Special Minds, we focus on empowering children by helping them navigate social interactions, express themselves effectively, and build meaningful relationships.

Social Skills Therapy Examples

Making Friends and Social Confidence

A 7-year-old child with social anxiety struggles to approach and engage with peers. Through structured play therapy and role-playing, the child learns to initiate conversations, share toys, and express emotions positively. Over time, they gain the confidence to make and maintain friendships.

Understanding Social Boundaries

A 10-year-old on the autism spectrum has difficulty understanding personal space and appropriate greetings. Through visual aids and guided interactions, the child learns the importance of respecting boundaries, maintaining appropriate physical distance, and recognizing social norms.

Handling Peer Pressure and Group Activities

A 12-year-old with ADHD often interrupts conversations and struggles with teamwork. Through group social skills training, the child learns to take turns, listen attentively, and collaborate effectively in group activities—enhancing their ability to participate in school and community events.
