Social group services in ABA therapy are designed to help individuals, particularly children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), develop essential social skills in a structured and supportive environment. These groups use evidence-based ABA strategies to teach and reinforce skills such as communication, turn-taking, sharing, understanding social cues, and building friendships. By interacting with peers in guided sessions led by trained therapists, participants learn how to apply appropriate behaviors in real-life social situations. Social group services not only enhance social competence but also boost confidence and emotional development, making them a valuable component of comprehensive ABA therapy programs.
