Social Skills (Youth Age Group)

ICAN-B is well known for its fun and interactive social skills program. The program focuses on teaching essential social skills that every member need, but at ICAN-B, the focus is to add fun activities to motivate and facilitate the learning process. Through the use of soccer, yoga, basketball, arts, music, and other interactive events and activities, ICAN-B works on increasing social skills for all members who participate in this program.

Assessment of Social Skills

ICAN-B’s clinical team designs social skill programs based on results attained through ABLL-S and VB-Mapp. These results allow for the clinical team to objectively identify the learner’s needs in social skills.
