training Southfield
Michigan
At the HUG Center in Southfield, Michigan, social skills training is a key component of their therapeutic offerings for children and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental conditions. The center’s social skills programs focus on helping individuals develop the essential interpersonal skills needed for success in everyday interactions, including conversation, body language, and understanding social cues.
The HUG Center offers both group and individualized sessions, where participants engage in structured activities that simulate real-life social scenarios. These exercises help children practice and reinforce skills like turn-taking, active listening, and recognizing emotions in themselves and others. By using structured role-play, children gain practical experience navigating social situations in a safe and supportive environment
Group Therapy Sessions: Social skills groups at the HUG Center allow children to practice interpersonal skills in a controlled, supportive environment. These groups focus on essential skills such as turn-taking, understanding social cues, making eye contact, and engaging in conversations
Individualized Plans: The center tailors social skills training to the unique needs of each child, often incorporating their interests or strengths into sessions. For example, a child with a strong interest in a specific topic might use that interest as a basis for group activities or conversations.
Why HUG Center?
There is no one symptom of autism. Each individual with autism experiences a unique combination of symptoms. However, there are some common symptoms that many people with autism share. These include:
Impaired Social Skills
Impaired social skills refer to difficulties in understanding and responding to social cues, which can make social interactions and relationships challenging. This condition is often observed in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other developmental or mental health conditions.
Restricted Interests
Restricted interests are a hallmark feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and refer to intense, focused interests in a particular topic, activity, or object that often become all-consuming. These interests are typically very narrow, and the individual may devote a significant amount of time and energy to them, often at the expense of exploring other areas.
Repetitive Behaviors
Repetitive behaviors are a core characteristic of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental conditions, and they include actions that are repeated frequently and often serve specific purposes such as self-regulation or sensory input. These behaviors can range from physical actions like hand-flapping or rocking to verbal repetitions and even behaviors centered around objects.
