Classroom Simulation

Building social skills is one of the most important life skills anyone can develop. They help children form friendships, take part in their community, and work as part of a team, though for many kids on the spectrum, this can be genuinely challenging.

To help with this, EAV hosts Classroom Simulations for children with autism between the ages of 5 and 13. These small group settings give kids the chance to practice social skills alongside peers, guided by our trained clinicians. Groups practice skills like making conversation, taking turns, compromising, cooperating, public speaking, and other everyday social situations.

Building social skills takes practice, and that practice is exactly what gives children the confidence to try new things and take part in social activities as they grow older.

Focused Skill Development: Small Teachable Steps

Classroom simulation works because it breaks big social goals into small, practiceable moments, learning to wait your turn, learning to ask a question, learning to sit through a group activity, each one building toward genuine classroom confidence.

Collaborative Approach

At EAV, your child’s ABA program doesn’t happen in isolation. Our center houses in-house experts in ABA Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech/Language Therapy, all working from the same clinic and the same shared understanding of your child.
