How Speech Therapy Builds Social Skills in Kids

Social skills are just as important as speech sounds. At Pioneer Therapy, our Lincoln Park-based speech-language pathologists support children in building meaningful connections through communication.

Why Social Skills Matter Children need more than words—they need to understand how to use them appropriately. Social communication skills help them:

  • Make and keep friends

  • Participate in group settings

  • Navigate emotions and conversations

Our Approach
We use evidence-based strategies to teach:

  • Turn-taking and topic maintenance

  • Eye contact and body language

  • Understanding tone, humor, and figurative language

Group and Individual Options
Pioneer Therapy offers both 1:1 and small group sessions to strengthen your child’s real-world communication.

Ready to see your child thrive socially?
