Social Beginnings is a social skills program exclusive to Verbal Beginnings that provides therapeutic opportunities for children to learn and develop socialization among peers. The curriculum behind the fun is research driven and provides the opportunity for clinicians to track your child’s progress during their time in the group. Groups meet weekly throughout the year at our Columbia, MD center and children are matched with peers of similar age and skill level. Group sizes are small and are led by highly experienced BCBAs and Registered Behavior Technicians.
During the school year our social groups are held after school. During the summer, Social Beginnings hosts a 6-week summer program meeting 5 days per week. This program is currently held in Howard County, MD.
Fun. And Effective.
Social Beginnings offers ABA based social skills groups 1 to 2 days per week during after school hours. Children meet in small groups and participate in structured groups utilizing the exclusive Social Beginnings curriculum.
