An Insight into the Social Skills Dubai Group Therapy for Children

For positive social interactions, communication disorders and disabilities in children we recommend Social Skills Group Therapy.

What are Social Skills Speech Therapy Groups?

Social interaction is very important for children as it contributes to developing their personality and confidence. There are certain skills that are needed for making social and family interactions, maintaining peer relationships and for academic and extracurricular achievements. In order to develop those essential social skills in children, small groups are created, where they can learn and practice the acquired skills and become capable of interacting socially. The Social Skills Dubai therapy sessions are taken by a speech therapist and or an occupational therapist where the children learn how to interact properly with others in the same age group and how to take control of their emotions. They learn all these through various fun group activities.

FAQs

1What is social skills group therapy for children in Dubai?

Social skills group therapy helps children build important communication and interaction abilities through structured, therapist-led group activities. These sessions are designed to teach kids how to express themselves, read social cues, and develop confidence in social situations. With fun and supportive group settings, children learn how to connect, cooperate, and grow emotionally while interacting with peers their own age.

Children with speech delays, autism, ADHD, sensory processing issues, or trouble making friends can benefit greatly from social skills groups. It’s ideal for kids who struggle with eye contact, understanding body language, or expressing emotions clearly. These groups help them improve interaction, manage emotions, and become more confident in everyday situations—at home, school, and during play with peers.

3What happens during a typical social skills group session?

During each session, children take part in interactive games, role-playing, and fun peer-based activities designed by our therapists. These are tailored to help them understand social rules, practice conversations, express feelings, and work through everyday social challenges. With guidance from speech or occupational therapists, kids learn and apply these skills in a safe, playful environment where progress feels fun and natural.
