[quote=Anonymous]No, social skills class was a total waste of time. Often it's just another way for the therapist to gouge you for more money, as it was in our case. I asked about the credentials of the woman running the social skills class and it was clear she had no idea what she was doing other than encouraging chat. We tried it for a few sessions because our therapist was pushing it so hard - it was run out of her office. It became apparent quickly that our DC was in the least need of help amongst the preteens in this group. We dropped both the group and the therapist when she came home with a new word - "suicide" (she was young) - and the story the one of the girls told about her attempt. Be very careful. I do think it's a money maker that therapists force on desperate parents. Maybe there is a good social skills group out there but we never found it. Scouting and church social groups are a much better way to go[/quote]
