[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC went to a weekly social skills group from 4th grade to 11th.  The person running it also did a parent group once a month or so.  It really helped him.  At first it was the only place where he met with people who were happy to see him.  Then as they aged they talked about the issues they faced and how to deal with them.  When he went to college he came back and said he was glad he had had that group because he knew what to do and he saw other kids like him floundering.   The monthly parent group helped immensely too it was nice to have someone to talk through issue and work out solutions. Plus having someone be able to say ‘concentrate on x and don’t worry about y that will come eventually’ was very helpful.

DC is now living in their own apartment and working at a job he has had for 4+ years and had had promotions.  He still needs to work on developing a little more on the social front, but he is in good shape.  [/quote]

Would you mind saying which social skills curriculum they used and which practice it was through? 
I am looking at PEERs and Social thinking, but it's hard to decide with my child still in early elementary.[/quote]
