Can behaviour therapy help with building friendships?

Yes. Many children, particularly those with autism, ADHD, or social anxiety, struggle with building and maintaining friendships. Behaviour therapy helps by breaking down social interactions into teachable skills like greeting peers, sharing, understanding body language, and resolving conflicts.

Through role-play, modelling, structured games, and real-life practice, therapists support children in learning how to connect with others. These skills are often tied to NDIS goals around social participation and community access. Therapists may also coordinate with schools to reinforce social goals and provide feedback to teachers.
