Children with speech and language disorders and ASD may have delayed social skills, which include difficulty interacting with peers, responding to social cues or using language to navigate through their environment effectively.  Speech and language problems can lower peer acceptance, affect peer relationships and interfere with classroom performance. However, children can learn social and pragmatic skills. 

The  Social Butterflies Club (SBC) is a unique social language and social skills program provided by Atlantic Speech Therapy
in Virginia Beach, VA. The SBC is designed for children with speech and language  delays and children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The program is in a natural setting with small groups of no more than eight children.

This  successful program teaches children learn social skills while integrating  sensory techniques. The groups are conducted by a speech therapist and an occupational therapist and are arranged according to skill levels.
SBC benefits  children with speech-language delays/disorders as well as autism spectrum  disorders (ASD). Because a lack of social language skills is a defining characteristic for children with ASD, this program can help develop those  skills. This widely successful program now has clients coming as far as Yorktown, Va. and Buxton, N.C.
