Social Skills Groups for Young Adults & Adults in Van Nuys
Where communication is practiced, friendships form, and confidence grows.
For many young adults and adults with autism or developmental disabilities, the hardest part of the week is not any task, it is connection. Our Van Nuys social skills groups make connection something you practice, in a warm, structured setting where every conversation counts.
Groups stay small so everyone gets airtime. Participants practice greetings, turn-taking, reading the room, and handling everyday situations, then put those skills to work over games, group projects, and shared celebrations. The friendships that start here are the reason many participants say Van Nuys is the best part of their week.
What a session looks like
Real conversation practice
Greetings, turn-taking, and everyday scenarios, rehearsed until they feel natural.
Games with a purpose
Board games, air hockey, and team challenges that make practice fun.
Small groups
Everyone participates; nobody disappears into the background.
Confidence that travels
Skills that show up at home, in the community, and everywhere else.
Groups are facilitated by credentialed professionals who understand adult social development across the full range of abilities.
This is the program where belonging IS the curriculum: every session is built around genuine friendship, teamwork, and the confidence of being known.
What's on the games table
Games are the reason people sit down together — so we keep a lot of them. Strategy, cooperation, quick turns, and plenty of laughing at each other's moves.
Questions families ask
Come see it in person.
The best way to know if we're the right fit is a visit. Meet the staff, see a session, and ask us anything.
No cost, no obligation — just a visit.
