⚠️ Important Clinical Note
The goals in this resource are intended as examples and starting points for individualized programming. Goals should be reviewed, adapted, and individualized based on the learner's assessment results, current skills, developmental level, communication modality, social preferences and priorities, cultural and family values, support needs, social environment, functional priorities, and applicable clinical or educational requirements.
Social skills should be taught in ways that respect the learner's autonomy, dignity, and assent, prioritizing skills that expand the learner's own social opportunities and quality of life rather than conformity for its own sake.
