Social Skills Training for Adolescents and Adults with Autism

Social Communication and Autism

Adolescents and adults with autism often require explicit instruction to develop social communication skills, form friendships, and navigate social expectations across settings such as schools, workplaces, and the community.

Our Social Skills Training Program

At Phoneme Abilities Development Center, social skills training focuses on real-life application rather than scripted responses. Target areas include:

  • Conversation skills and active listening
  • Friendship building and maintenance
  • Social rules, boundaries, and etiquette
  • Community navigation and self-advocacy
  • Perspective-taking and problem-solving

Expertise Led by Dr. Mariam Khater

Programs are guided by Dr. Mariam Khater, Founder of Phoneme, a certified PEERS® trainer, and an experienced inclusion consultant. Her expertise ensures intervention is evidence-based, functional, and culturally responsive within the Abu Dhabi community.
