What’s Generalization, and Why Is It Important?

At Sport-Social, our instructors are trained in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), a learning process that brings about positive changes in behavior. While learning skills through ABA, a child may have a difficult time generalizing these skills in other areas of his or her life. For example, a child with autism may learn how to engage in eye contact in a classroom setting, but cannot use this skill on the playground.
That’s where we come in. We use generalization to teach social and behavioral skills to your child across many different types of settings, through the use of sports and the arts. We offer your children endless opportunities to practice the skills they learn by engaging them in different activities with a variety of children. Generalization at Sport-Social will expand your child’s skill set from a classroom setting to a broader, more natural environment. Learn more about our programs here.
