[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks to everyone who responded.  To clarify, DS is not NT.  He has a host of fine and gross motor delays and sensory processing problems.  He definitely also has social deficits.  His eye contact is extremely variable, he has a tendency to get really stuck on things, it can be extremely difficult to get his attention away from an inanimate object, especially if he hasn't had tons and tons of sensory diet activities, and he often responds to us with memorized lines that are only sort of responsive.  There are other more subtle things, too.

He's at home with a nanny who is wonderful in many ways, but has been really bad about setting up play dates for him.

I didn't realize that MCITP was the same as Child Find.  We get services from MCITP, but they don't have a social group that is appropriate for him.

So we are looking for interventions that are helpful for social development.  A social group for him needs to be very small (I'm guessing 5 or fewer kids) and have skilled facilitators.  We will look into National Speech and Basic Concepts.  It's also a great idea to check with his OT and SLP.  Does anyone else have leads on places that might have the kind of social group that I am looking for?  Even if they don't take 2.5 yr olds, I'm sure we will still need help next year.[/quote]
