“Social skills groups are structured, peer-based programs led by trained professionals to support individuals who need additional help developing social communication and interaction skills. These groups provide opportunities to practice skills such as initiating and maintaining conversations, recognizing social cues, taking turns, managing conflict, and building friendships within a supportive environment.
The Client Supervisor Course focuses on the clinical responsibilities associated with these groups, including treatment planning, progress monitoring, collaboration with group facilitators, and ensuring interventions remain developmentally appropriate, neuroaffirming and client-centered.”
