Skills services

---

At times, additional support is needed beyond therapy. Skills services provide an opportunity to build and practice skills in the moment as they are needed. Like therapy, skills services take place in a variety of places including in the home, community, schools, telehealth, or office locations. These services are most effective when they take place where each person or family is experiencing difficulties. Skills services can focus on a variety of goal areas such as:

• Improving communication skills
• Increasing use of coping skills
• Improving anger management
• Improving ability to be assertive
• Improving task completion
• Increasing ability to transition
• Improving compliance
• Improving social skills
