Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Who benefits?
Children, teens, or adults who find social situations challenging, including those with Autism, ADHD, or social anxiety.
2. Do you run groups?
Not at the moment, but hopefully in the future!
3. What does social communication therapy focus on?
Therapy helps individuals build skills for connecting and communicating with others. This may include understanding social cues (like tone of voice or body language), taking turns in conversation, initiating and maintaining interactions, or managing emotions during social situations.
4. What does a session look like?
Sessions are tailored to each client’s goals and interests. We often use role-playing, games, stories, and real-life practice to build confidence and social awareness in a supportive environment.
5. Is social communication therapy only for children?
Not at all! We work with children, teens, and adults. Many people seek support for social communication later in life — for example, to navigate workplace interactions, friendships, or dating with more ease.
6. How long does therapy take?
It varies depending on the individual’s needs and goals. Some clients work on specific skills over a few months, while others benefit from longer-term support and gradual confidence-building.
7. Can parents or caregivers be involved?
Yes, we encourage family involvement! We provide guidance and strategies for supporting social communication skills at home, school, and in the community.
