[quote=Anonymous]David O Black - Chevy Chase. We did evenings here over the winter (16 weeks) and there were students/families within our group who came from as far as what I think was the eastern shore. Must have been a full day for them, but I don't recall all the specific details of what they endured travel-wise. Suck up the drive and do it, if it is in any way possible. It's a temporary arrangement and (ideally) the results are permanent and long-lasting. Also, my understanding is that there are many age groups for different PEERS programs. Elementary through college. It is mostly a matter of finding a reputable provider and what that provider is offering at that specific time. The provider needs a certain amount of students for whatever session they are offering.. be it elementary school, middle school, young adult, etc. It made a world of difference for my teen. It was a slow crawl, but because of PEERS, my son figured out how to grow his social network and make things happen for himself. (outings, connections, friendships) I'm forever grateful. Our kids will never have the social ease of NTs, but at least now my son has some awareness of what is necessary to connect with others and how to go about it. [/quote]
