Answer

What therapy helps a child learn social initiation?

Social initiation — a child starting an interaction rather than only responding — is supported mainly through speech and language therapy and play-based social skills therapy, using naturalistic and behavioural strategies plus parent and teacher coaching to give gentle, repeated practice at making the first move. AbilityScore® is part of Pinnacle’s developmental assessment. Diagnosis, where needed, requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
