Helping your child connect with others doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. In this free webinar, we’ll walk through practical, everyday strategies to support your child’s social development—whether they're just starting to engage or already practicing conversations and play. Led by Suffolk County BCBA who specialize in autism care, we’ll cover topics like:
- Understanding how social skills develop in children with autism
- Play-based techniques to encourage interaction
- How to support turn-taking, sharing, and communication
- What to do when your child avoids or struggles with social situations
- How to create real-world opportunities for social learning
You’ll walk away with tools you can use right away—and a chance to ask questions live. Whether your child is in preschool or preteen years, this session is designed to meet you where you are.
