[quote=Anonymous]DS with ADHD and probably social pragmatics disorder (undiagnosed but ASD was ruled out) has participated in three groups from different providers. Main issues are impulsive behavior and emotional regulation and the groups were helpful for two main things. One was knowing he's not alone in his challenges. His school has a lot of high-performing and well-behaved kids which makes him feel terrible about himself. The second is recognizing that feelings are separate from actions and that there are a lot of things we can do to control our actions. DS is still in elementary so he's still in more or less in step with his peers in terms social cues but I think the gap is widening and I think he'll be more behind in in MS and HS. We are planning to keep him in a group as long as we can, probably until 12th. I know several families that have invested in social skills groups as preventative measures and it has worked out well for them.[/quote]
