[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 554373, member: 11847"] In our social group, so far is what the kids, parents, and therapists have done: "hello" routine and talking about the persons that are missing that night. The main activity (building a pyramid and talking about how every single cup is important to hold the structure together, just like in a group: every person is important. It was interesting how Partner just got it. V kept on saying it does not make sense to him but after several explanation and pyramid building, I think he understood the message), talking about the oher people of the group (x has brown hair, y is a boy, etc...). The idea is: the adults and typical kids serve as role models and the special need kids hopefuly follow suit by doing, observing and imitating. We also did an activity of imitating what the leader does or says (everyone was a leader at one point). What is nice to see that ALL the kids participated, even the most hyper and distractable ones. We also talked about why we liked the activity of the day. V does not quite get this part yet, but at least he repeated the question! lol Participation and attempts being strongly encouraged. And we always conclude the session by a simple good bye routine. Those are the few things that has been done with V. In real life situation, I also give him a script of what he can say to other people. This way V does not quite make me do things for him, but instead seeks guidance and then does it for himself. Slowly it becomes automatic and looks at me less and less (depending on the situations of course). [/QUOTE]
