GET SOCIAL
WHAT IT IS
Get Social is a therapist-led, small-group social skills program designed to help children build meaningful relationships, emotional awareness, and real-world confidence.
Each semester focuses on a specific social-emotional theme, allowing children to practice skills in real time with peers while receiving gentle, in-the-moment coaching from our Occupational Therapists.
While your child participates in group, parents are supported through guided sessions that help bridge what is practiced in class into everyday life at home.
This is not just a social skills class.
It is a whole-family support model designed to create lasting growth.
WHO IT'S FOR
Get Social is a great fit for children who:Β
- Want to feel more confident joining and participating in groups
- Are learning how to navigate friendships and peer dynamics
- Need support with turn-taking, perspective taking, emotional expression, and problem-solving.
- Benefit from guided practice handling conflict and repair
- Are developing self-advocacy and flexible thinking
- Thrive in small, structured environments with supportive adults
Level 1 (ages 5β7) focuses on foundational friendship skills and emotional literacy.
Level 2 (ages 8β12) builds leadership, resilience, self-advocacy, and social problem-solving.

OUR APPROACH
Real-Time Coaching: We guide children during natural social interactions, offering support as moments unfold so new skills feel authentic and usable.
Practice, Not Performance: Children are encouraged to try, repair, and try again in a safe space where mistakes are part of learning.
Emotional Literacy: We help children name their feelings, advocate for their needs, and build coping strategies they can use beyond the group.
Parent Partnership: Parents receive insight, language, and tools so growth continues outside of the classroom with our parenthood coach.
Small Groups, Intentional Structure: Groups are intentionally kept small so each child receives individualized support and meaningful peer interaction.
