IRLSocialSkills.com’s Evidence-Based Programs for Neurodivergent Teens and Young Adults Now Insurance-Approved

All day, everyday we are interacting with people in our homes, and in the greater society. Every interaction requires communication and social skills. When it comes to most people, soft skill development can be a challenge. It’s that much more difficult for neurodivergent people. Neurodivergent and autistic people need support, and the programs at IRLSocialSkills.com are tailor made to help boost the confidence and capacity for neurodivergent people to grow their social skills. The loneliness epidemic was exacerbated by the pandemic, and its effects continue to negatively impact one's ability to be comfortable in social situations. However, there is now a beacon of hope for those struggling with social skills – IRLSocialSkills.com. We are thrilled to announce that our evidence-based social skills programs for neurodivergent teens and young adults are now covered by insurance.

Bridging the Social Skills Gap

At IRLSocialSkills.com, we understand the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals. Our mission is to empower autistic and other neurodivergent teens and young adults through targeted social skills coaching. Our programs are designed to transform lives by fostering improved relationships, enhancing communication in diverse environments, and promoting self-knowledge, advocacy, and empowerment.

Comprehensive and Interactive Coaching

Our research-based, parent/caregiver mediated approach at IRLSocialSkills.com is both comprehensive and engaging. We offer a variety of courses that are not only fun and interactive but also incredibly effective. The 16-week Social Skills Academy stands out due to its unique structure, small class sizes and parent training. Each course accommodates no more than 12 families, ensuring personalized attention and support. During the sessions, participants practice their new skills with same-age peers and IRL coaches in a supportive environment, while their parents or caregivers participate in separate breakout rooms.

Parent-Mediated Approach

What sets our program apart is our parent-mediated approach. While teens and young adults are immersed in their lessons, parents receive guidance on how to support their loved ones at home, at school, at work, and in the community at large. This dual-focused strategy reinforces the skills learned in class, setting everyone up for success. Parents also benefit by becoming more effective communicators, thanks to our easy-to-follow, step-by-step methods.

The Importance of Connection

We all need friends, peer support, and connections to thrive in life. For neurodivergent individuals, these connections can be particularly challenging to establish and maintain. Our programs at IRLSocialSkills.com are designed to bridge this gap, helping participants transition from merely striving to truly thriving in their social interactions.

Insurance Coverage: A Game Changer

The recent approval of insurance coverage for our programs marks a significant milestone. It means that more families can access our transformative services without the added financial burden. This development underscores the importance and effectiveness of our evidence-based approach to social skills training.
