Socialization Group Purpose
Children who have difficulty relating to peers develop patterns of isolation
displayed through withdrawal, aggression, and inappropriate behaviors.
By building a reservoir of successful social experiences, children increase
their range of interpersonal responses while fostering a sense of social competence.
In a therapeutic group environment, children can learn and apply fundamental
social skills.
