[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 564932, member: 11791"] I've seen social groups work. I've seen them not work. And I've seen them make things worse. It really depends on the quality of the people running it and their training, the mix of kids, and the social problems they are trying to solve. One that I've seen work (we didn't get in...) was a summer day-camp format. All of the kids had to be intellectually normal - but they had a variety of issues to go with their social skills problems. The camp activities gave them things to interact about - and the leaders were on top of every nuance, to teach them better ways of handing things. They knew now to defuse, who to pull out and how and when... That environment worked, and probably would have worked for difficult child as well. [/QUOTE]
