Social Skills Development Sessions
For children who find social situations challenging due to conditions such as autism (ASD), ADHD, anxiety, or low self-esteem, Herd Connection’s Social Skills Development Sessions provide individual’s with a safe space to practice communication skills, build self-awareness, and increase their self-confidence.
Each week participants engage in a fun, hands-on activity or game with a pony or horse designed to encourage important skills like:
-
Greeting Others / Introducing Yourself
-
Talking and Listening
-
Taking Turns
-
Understanding Feelings and Boundaries
-
Teamwork / Problem-solving in Social Situations
Horses and the natural environment help to ease social barriers, allowing children to feel comfortable being themselves.
