Building Confidence & Connections
At Smile BIG, we understand the importance of social interactions in creating meaningful relationships and navigating everyday life. That’s why we offer Social Skills Training—a specialized service brought directly to your home or school. We design our sessions to help children and individuals develop skills that support communication, social interaction, and participation in everyday environments.
Why Interpersonal Skills Matter
Social skills play an important role in building relationships and navigating everyday interactions, understanding cues, and working effectively with others. However, for some individuals, these skills do not come naturally and require targeted teaching. Our mobile service focuses on supporting learners in practicing these essential abilities in the environments where they need them most.
What We Offer
Our program provides comprehensive support in key areas of social development:
- Communication Skills: We teach verbal and non-verbal techniques, including how to initiate conversations, ask questions, and interpret body language.
- Relationship Building: Our team supports individuals in practicing skills related to making friends, maintaining relationships, and collaborating with peers.
- Emotion Regulation: We support individuals in identifying and managing their emotions during social interactions to support more comfortable participation in social situations.
- Problem-Solving: Students learn strategies to resolve conflicts, make decisions, and adapt to new or challenging social environments.
How the Training Works
Because Smile BIG is a mobile service, we have the unique advantage of practicing skills in real-world scenarios.
- Initial Assessment: We start by evaluating the individual’s current abilities and identifying specific areas for growth.
- Customized Goals: Based on the assessment, we create individualized goals designed to guide skill development.
- Interactive Sessions: Training is conducted through one-on-one or small group sessions, using role-playing and games to reinforce skills.
- Real-World Application: Skills are practiced in the actual settings where they occur, whether in the classroom or at home, allowing opportunities for feedback and practice across settings.

- Children and teens with autism, ADHD, or social anxiety.
