[quote=Anonymous]My DS7 and rising 3rd grade has an IEP for social communication issues mainly since preK4.  He has an ASD/ADHD diagnosis and is fully mainstreamed.  The school has done lots of things to help and when you see DS on the playground, he does not appear to have any issues at all.

In PreK4, the teachers have set him up with "helpers" and recommended kids who are good matches for playdates.  One of the "helpers" in preK4 is his best female friend.  He also has a BFF (boy) who he loves dearly.   DS is pretty popular and is liked by other kids:  The girls mostly bc he is very cute and the boys bc he is an expert on Pokemon and Minecraft.

DS has extensive social skills training at school.  In K and 1st, his Sp Ed teacher occasionally facilitated play during recess.  Now it isn't needed.  He has social skills classes with SLP as well as training with the school counselor once a week.  He is also medicated for the ADHD and it makes him more social probably bc he can pay better attention to other people and to his social skills classes.

Definitely try some play dates with her classmates.  Having friends will make all the difference.[/quote]
