How can I teach my child with special needs social skills?

To teach social skills:

1. Model Behavior: Demonstrate appropriate social interactions in everyday situations for your child to observe and imitate.
2. Role-Playing: Engage in role-playing exercises to practice specific social scenarios, such as greetings or sharing.
3. Use Visual Aids: Incorporate visual supports, such as social stories or charts, to illustrate social cues and appropriate responses.
4. Encourage Peer Interaction: Facilitate playdates or group activities with peers to provide opportunities for social engagement.
