Social Skills Groups
ICAN’s Social Skills Groups provide opportunities for your child to build on their social interests in a group setting. Social Skills Group programs are designed to help your child build friendships, share and expand their play skills, learn conflict resolution strategies, learn self-regulation strategies, and grow
their independence with functional interactions across all environments.
