[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 532821, member: 14557"] The one service for special needs children here all my acquaintances who have been involved through their kids have really liked. In pre-K they make up these separate groups for special needs kids. They have more adults per children, the adults are educated to handle many special needs, they use a lot of therapists etc. But the best part is, that only half or less of the kids have special needs and even they have different ones. Others are what they call 'support children' who are chosen for their good play skills, good language development and other skills. Both the parents of special need kids and support kids tend to love these groups and both special needs and healthy kids seem to develop better than in separate groups. There are some social skills you can teach well in structured situations and with role playing and what not. And those are important and for the lower functioning kids those skills may make that vital difference in how independently they can live in future, what kind of work may be able to do, if any etc. But for the kids who are more high functioning those situation don't tend to be the main challenge. For them the challenging ones are those real life, every changing, murky social games and politics even PCs have at time difficulties to navigate through. And yes, those are the ones you don't learn that well in structured situations with other difficult children. [/QUOTE]
