Why are Social Skills so Important to Kids?
Research tells us that social skills are critical to every child’s success. Children and adolescents with a variety of diagnosed disabilities, and sometimes those without a diagnosis, often have significant social skills impairments that require direct instruction in order to address these deficits.
- Your student’s or child’s social skills learning is the most important factor in his or her academic and personal success. Social skills impairments contribute to peer rejection, loss of self-esteem and persistent academic disappointment.
- Social skills learning supports success in school, at home, in the community, and in future work life. Strong social skills help to foster and maintain positive relationships with others and contribute to peer acceptance that’s required for success.
