It is critical that children with Social Skills deficits are provided with the training, experiences, and support necessary to allow them to develop strong and appropriate social relationships. In order for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to succeed in developing Social Skills, skills must be broken down into their component parts and presented in a concrete, systematic, and repetitive manner. CATS Social Skills Program is designed to provide just this type of a learning experience.
