[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I wish I knew you so you could come over for some wine. I could tell you all about how my dd was kicked out of social skills camp for...having poor social skills. True story! [/quote]

Ha!  My kid, ASD/ADHD, got kicked out of social skills class even before attending.  It was Ivymount's Unstuck and On Target program and he was accepted after the required play date (received an acceptance letter in writing) then they must have had second thoughts bc they made us come in again "to see what kind of supports he'll need" and rescinded their acceptance!

This was in second grade.  Now he is a rising 4th grader and attends mainstream camps without supports in his hobby where he excels and is rated among the tops kids in the entire USA.  So take that Ivymount!  :lol: [/quote]

Wow, that's so unprofessional of them.
Glad you're telling this story.

Re-telling it.  PP, be glad you don't really need to spend the money on social skills group if your kid can cut it at mainstream camps.[/quote]

Actually, what happened was that we told his public school (where DS is fully mainstreamed with IEP) what happened with Ivymount and his IEP team decided to put in more social supports including a social skills class using the Unstuck and On Target curriculum with the school counselor.  Also, DS had a full neuropsych with Dr Black and the school put in all his recommendations into the IEP:  DS was diagnosed with ADHD, combined type, in addition to the ASD and medicated.  Dr Black referred us to a great psychiatrist.  After DS was medicated for his ADHD, the school found that DS already knew most of the things taught with the unstuck and  on Target curriculum and so used Superflex which helped greatly with his rigidity so much so that he no longer has difficulty trying new things.  We had a great year...

So I guess Ivymount did us a favor.   :lol:
