Helping Kids Learn Social Skills Through Role Play

For many kids with autism, ADHD, or speech delays, knowing what to say or how to act in social situations can feel tricky. That’s where role play can make a big difference.

By pretending to order at a restaurant, greet a friend, or ask for help, children get to practice:

How to take turns in a conversation

Listening to others and responding

Using new words and sentences naturally

Understanding how their actions affect others

Start small—pick familiar situations and act them out together. Show them what to say, then switch roles so they can try. Use props, pictures, or even a favorite toy to make it fun.

With each role play, you’re giving your child a safe space to practice social skills, build confidence, and be ready for real-life moments.
