What is Social Skills Training?
JCDC's Social Skills Training program helps children develop the abilities they need to interact successfully with peers and adults. Through structured group sessions and individual training, children learn turn-taking, conversation skills, understanding emotions, reading social cues, making and keeping friends, and conflict resolution. Our program uses role-playing, video modeling, social stories, and real-life practice opportunities in a supportive environment.
At Jaipur Child Development Center (JCDC), we take a child-centered, evidence-based approach to social skills training. Each therapy plan is individually crafted after a thorough assessment to address your child's specific needs and goals. Our certified therapists combine structured techniques with play-based learning to ensure every session is both effective and enjoyable for your child.
We believe in a collaborative approach where parents, therapists, and educators work together as a team. Regular progress reviews, parent training sessions, and home practice recommendations are integral parts of our social skills training program, ensuring that the skills your child develops in therapy carry over into everyday life.
