Social communication skills

Social skills are the ways we interact with others. If we have good social skills then this can help us become confident, happy and easy to get along with. Help children and young people develop social skills such as sharing, cooperation and using good manners using TomTag visual resources. A TomTag picture prompt is a fun way of showing children what you would like them to do in relation to social situations and interactions they will encounter at home and at school.
