[quote=Anonymous]The general teacher doesn't have time, OP. Please understand this. They're worked off their feet. My kid is now in college, and what he had was a group conversation pull-out that was billed as "speech therapy" on his IEP, but was actually a social skills class for kids with autism and ADHD. It was led by the the smartest, most experienced, SLP I have ever known. She was a treasure. She taught all the basics of autistic-friendly communication, with imagery to help them be less inflexible in their thinking. My kid could not tell me much about his day, but he did tell me about her group and what they did there. She retired some years ago. I am sure she bettered the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of students in her long career. We tried private social skills groups, and none were helpful. I think it really comes down to the individual person and how good they are at their job. [/quote]
