[quote=Anonymous]We have been in social skills group for years.  A good first speech social group is through a  speech therapist, plus they usually take insurance and if not, are very reasonably priced.

The unstuck and on target group is for older children.

My dc could not take turns, sit still, or be patient around other children at first.  We did these small social skills groups first, and they helped so much.

Just because you have a young, bright, curious, maybe immature young child does not mean this is a personal rejection to them.  This means DC was great at the one on one evaluation.  But once in a structured, group setting DC required too much attention from the facilitator.  Maybe next year they will be ready, in the mean time  a speech social group through a SLP is a good start.  It is hard to find a place for an exceptionally bright, verbal, but maybe a bit impatient DC.  They tend to get bored around other children and want to just talk to the adults!!

Please do not give up on Unstuck and On Target.  While children are in class- the parents have a class taught by the author of the book/program.  So you can use the same language/skills at home that your child learns in class.  Also, it is similar to Michele Garcia Winner's social skills program.  [/quote]
