-

Self care

What are the Social Skills Groups?
Our social skills groups are small, supportive learning environments designed to help students strengthen communication, collaboration, emotional awareness, and peer interaction skills. Groups are facilitated by trained educators and focus on building skills that support success in school and community settings.
Through guided instruction, interactive activities, role-play, and real-life practice, students develop confidence, self-regulation, and positive social behaviors in an inclusive and encouraging group setting.
The Benefits of Social Skills Groups:
Social skills groups provide students with opportunities to build communication, collaboration, emotional awareness, and peer interaction skills in a supportive group setting. Through guided activities and peer engagement, students learn strategies that strengthen relationships, confidence, and self-expression.
These skills support not only students’ success in school but also their ability to navigate social situations at home and within the community. Our groups are designed to be inclusive and supportive of diverse learning styles, helping students develop social competence and positive connections with others.

What Is ABA-Informed Support?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a research-based approach that uses evidence-informed strategies to support learning, skill development, and positive behaviors. In educational settings, ABA-informed practices—such as reinforcement, modeling, visual supports, and structured routines — are used to promote engagement, skill-building, and student success.
At BlossomS, ABA-informed strategies are applied exclusively within educational and community-based programs to support academic learning, social development, and self-regulation. We do not provide clinical or medical ABA therapy.
