Social Groups

Communication lies at the heart of social engagement, and we dedicate significant attention to enhancing communication skills within our groups. This involves not only verbal expression but also non-verbal cues, active listening, and understanding social cues to effectively convey thoughts, feelings, and intentions.

​

Play skills are fundamental for building rapport, fostering cooperation, and developing friendships. Through structured activities and guided play experiences, we facilitate opportunities for our peers to engage in collaborative and imaginative play, encouraging creativity, flexibility, and problem-solving.

Emotional regulation is a cornerstone of social competence, enabling individuals to manage their emotions adaptively in various social contexts. We provide strategies and tools to help our peers recognize, express, and regulate their emotions constructively, promoting resilience and positive social interactions.

​

Incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) values enriches our program by emphasizing mindfulness, acceptance, and values-driven action. By cultivating present moment awareness and acceptance of internal experiences, individuals learn to respond flexibly to social challenges and align their actions with their personal values, enhancing psychological well-being and fostering meaningful connections with others.

​

Furthermore, integrating Social Emotional Learning (SEL) principles complements our approach by promoting self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. These competencies provide a foundation for navigating social complexities, building empathy, and cultivating healthy interpersonal relationships.

​

In essence, our Social Groups at All About Behavior provide a comprehensive framework for developing essential social skills and promoting psychological resilience, drawing from evidence-based practices such as ACT and SEL to empower individuals to thrive in diverse social settings.
