01
Overview
Social skills training (SST) is a structured behavioral intervention aimed at helping individuals develop and refine interpersonal competencies, such as conversation skills, emotional regulation in social contexts, and conflict resolution. SST programs are commonly used for children and adults with neurodevelopmental challenges like ASD, relying on principles from social learning theory and operant conditioning. Skills are taught through modeling, role play, feedback, and positive reinforcement, and are tailored to the age and needs of the individual. SST is evidence-based and effective for improving social abilities but is not a biological, chemical, or molecular therapeutic target.

Safety considerations
Social skills training may present concerns if implemented in a way that teaches neurodivergent people to mask natural behaviors, or if strategies involve shaming instead of inclusive teaching.
