[quote=Anonymous]Depends what age and what curriculum they use. We're in one for very high functioning kids in 1st grade and they use "Social Thinking." They play games and learn how to take turns, read each other's body language and how to talk about their emotions and problem solve in a constructive way. During the first few months we didn't really see any changes and almost gave up but now that it's been about 9 months we are finding that our DC uses a lot of the language from the class and is really great about doing things like having a phone conversation in a reciprocal and appropriate way. I don't know what the diagnoses of the kids in the class are but for four of the five I would have had no clue they had any diagnosis at all. They are perfectly behaved in the waiting room and "look" NT. We may take a break over the summer as well.[/quote]
