ONE-TO-ONE CARE
Our One-to-One Care sessions give each child focused attention and personalized social coaching. These sessions are designed to help children strengthen the skills that support friendship, confidence, and connection in everyday life.
Every child’s goals look a little different. Some need help learning how to start a conversation or keep one going. Others might work on reading body language, sharing personal space, managing frustration, or handling unexpected changes. Each session provides a calm environment to slow things down, learn at their own pace, and celebrate small wins that lead to bigger ones.
How One-to-One Care works with groups?
Our approach is grounded in the behavioral science of generalization, which means helping a child use a learned skill in different settings with different people. Research in Applied Behavior Analysis shows that social skills are more likely to last when they are practiced across various environments and social partners. That is why One-to-One Care and group sessions are designed to complement each other.
A child might learn how to start a conversation in One-to-One Care, practice it with a peer in group, and then apply it during a Skill-Trip in the community. Experiencing the same skill across settings helps children develop flexibility, confidence, and comfort using what they have learned in real life.
What sessions look like?
Each One-to-One Care session follows our Good Humans Session Flow, a simple and adaptable structure that keeps learning engaging, purposeful, and personal.
Good Humans Session Flow
- Connect – quick warm-up or relationship moment
- Teach – introduce or model today’s skill
- Practice – guided activity, role-play, or game
- Reflect – child verbalizes what worked
- Plan – carryover goal for home or group
For example, a child might work on joining a conversation by practicing friendly openers, taking turns, and reading body language that shows someone is ready to talk. During their next group session, that same skill becomes a focus for real-life application with peers while our team provides gentle coaching and encouragement.
Session length and frequency
Sessions are typically 30 to 45 minutes, depending on age, attention, and goals. Older participants may meet for up to 60 minutes when working on advanced skills or preparing for community-based practice.
Families can schedule One-to-One Care sessions weekly or combine them with our Social Skills Groups for the most consistent progress. Individual sessions give children focused time to build confidence, practice specific goals, and learn at their own pace. When those same skills are used in group sessions, children practice them with peers and receive immediate feedback in a natural social setting. Together, the two formats create a rhythm of learning and applying that helps social growth feel easier and more natural.
Who Is It for?
Every child learns differently. Some need a little extra time to warm up and build trust before they feel comfortable engaging in a group, while others do best when they have both individual and group support happening side by side.
One-to-One Care provides a less stimulating, low-pressure setting where children can connect with their provider, practice skills like conversation, flexibility, or emotional expression, and build confidence before bringing those skills into group settings.
It is especially helpful for children who thrive with personalized attention and benefit from learning in both one-on-one and peer environments, helping them feel understood, capable, and ready to connect in real life.
Skills we target
One-to-One Care sessions address the specific areas that shape social confidence, such as:
- Joining and maintaining conversations
- Understanding tone, humor, and perspective
- Handling losing, waiting, or disappointment
- Reading facial expressions and nonverbal cues
- Staying flexible when plans or rules change
- Expressing feelings in respectful ways
- Repairing small social mistakes
- Building confidence during group activities or community outings
Each goal connects to real-life interactions so children can experience success outside the session, not just inside it.
Why we encourage combining individual and group services?
Research in behavioral science shows that children make stronger, longer-lasting progress when individualized teaching and group practice happen together. One-to-one sessions give space for focused instruction, modeling, and repetition that help children master new social skills such as turn-taking, flexible thinking, or managing frustration. Group sessions then provide the chance to use those skills with peers where social cues, emotions, and real-life unpredictability naturally occur.
Studies published in journals such as the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders and Frontiers in Psychology show that while one-to-one behavioral teaching is highly effective for building new communication and social behaviors, those gains are most durable when children practice across multiple environments and with different people. This process, known as generalization, is a cornerstone of behavioral science.
By combining One-to-One Care with Social Skills Groups, children benefit from both focused support in a quieter setting and meaningful social practice with peers. This balance promotes steady progress, greater confidence, and skills that extend beyond the session into everyday life.
Why families choose One-to-One Care?
Families often tell us that One-to-One Care feels like the missing piece. It gives their child space to connect, learn, and grow in a way that feels comfortable and personal.
- Coaching that is personalized to your child’s goals and personality
