[QUOTE="buddy, post: 537980, member: 12886"] Crazy, right? Q starts a summer social skills group tomorrow...here I am in a major metro area and I have to drive nearly an hour to get him to a group for the summer. I decided it was worth it because from his ESY placement for one of the months it is not so far and it is at least four hours long each session so I am not driving all that way for a one hour group...On Wed, different...I drive 30 minutes to a one hour group...as much time on the road as in the group, lol....but at least I get mileage for that one. This tues group??? $2,600 for 8 weeks....but he also gets a 1:1 CPI trained male aide all for him all summer...and the fees are included so going to water parks, go cart places, food....included. Still, huge amount of money (happily had funds we overbudgeted for in his waiver in Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) so got it covered). only part for me is 15 dollars a week in gas thank heaven. Can't imagine he would ever need that intensive of a program, but some practice as you said, with guidance and understanding all around him would be really nice. I think DDD's ideas are great...discuss ahead of time what you know are challenges, shows respect for him AND his visitors. I suppose an incentive could be added if needed. NOthing too over the top (at least here that adds too much stress...he then is guaranteed to fall apart) but a bike ride with you or ice cream treat or whatever???? Hang in there...it helps me when I hear my friends and sisters, even typical kids give their parents fits over stuff like this. [/QUOTE]
