[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid with Asperger's gets group pragmatic speech classes led by a SLP at school.  They all learn the same stuff no matter what the diagnosis.  All the kids in his grade go to this class if they have social pragmatic issues whether or not they have a diagnosis.  My kid with ASD has normal eye contact, BTW.

The classes have worked well for my DS and his social pragmatics have improved a lot.  He has been attending social pragmatic classes since preK at school and is now in 1st. He attends a language immersion school and they also have direct instruction in social pragmatics in the target language which also helps.

You are not going to get different speech/social pragmatics classes specifically tailored to a diagnosis and certainly not in public school.

The fact that all the children go to the same class doesn't prove anything. Even in a group setting, children can be working on different skills.

MERLD children have weak pragmatics for totally different reasons than ASD children.

I'm not saying it to prove anything but describing how a pragmatic speech class is run at our school.  We are at a DC charter maybe it's different at other schools or counties?[/quote]

This was also the case at our public MoCo elementary.  Not just for speech, but also for reading intervention.  Group classes with all working on one set of skills.  Not at all effective for our child.  [/quote]
