Social Skills Training

"Girls Night Out" (GNO) is a social skills and self care program for adolescent girls with developmental disabilities, including autism.

This is an opportunity for your daughter to interact with other girls her age, learn social skills related to having friends, social conversation, and "hanging out" with other girls, practice skills related to hygiene and appearance, and most importantly ... HAVE FUN!

It is our hope that your daughter will acquire increased social competence and gain independence with self-care skills all while having fun with other girls her age.

Possible session topics may include:

  • Hygiene: taking care of your body, skin, nails and hair
  • Learning unwritten social rules
  • Fashion
  • Conversation skills
  • Nutrition and exercise
  • Leisure activities
  • Hair care (visit to salon)

Learn more about Girls Night Out at the GNO website.
