Building Blocks has designed our Interactive Social Skills Groups to go beyond the basic talk group. Through age and ability grouping children are matched with peers that encourage appropriate peer relations and interactions. Age appropriate games and play activity are intermixed with guided lessons in necessary life skills. Skills are defined and taught to each child at their level of understanding and ability as the group provides continued modeling of further developed skills.

Groups are offered on a continuous basis so there is no need to wait for new sessions to start. We accept children of all ages and abilities. Even though we accept many insurances that cover social skills groups, children do not need a diagnosis or insurance coverage to attend our social group programs.
