Please see the following from Holly Reycraft in Gilbert.
Dear Parents,
I am very excited to tell you I will be running SOS (Social Opportunity for Success) Groups this summer for Kids with High functioning Autism, Asperger Syndrome, ADHD and Anxiety Disorders. The groups will be offered for kids age 7-16 and will be grouped accordingly. I will start the second week of June and will run till July 20 for a total of 6 weeks ( one week off during June 22, while I will be out of town).
I run the social groups in my home in Gilbert (Lindsay & Williamsfield). For those who may not know me, I worked in the school system for 9 years as a special education teacher, department chair, and guidance counselor. I facilitated groups at a local junior high and loved it. I also have a 12 year old son who has very high functioning autism and participates in group. He is one of the reasons I decided to facilitate social groups, based on the day to day struggles he has been experiencing with his peers.
The curriculum I use is based on the work of Michelle Garcia-Winner and is designed for kids who are high functioning and have language skills, but struggle with socialization. I have found her social thinking theory to be very effective with my son, Hunter. You can check out her website to get a feel for her.
The cost of the group is $25./session and parents may pay weekly. You do not need to pay if you miss, but try to let me know if you will be absent. The groups will run about 1 hour, ending 5 minutes early in order to transition. Parents may drop their child off at my home.
Attached you will find a registration form. If you have already completed one, you do not need to send me another one. Just shoot me an email responding to the following:
Please respond:
1) Do you prefer Tues class, Thurs class, or both?
2) Time preference (10:00am-2:00pm)
3) Fill out registration form (if you have not already) and email, fax, or mail to me.
As I begin to form the groups based on appropriate peers, I cannot guarantee your time request, but I will certainly do my best. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions. I look forward to working with your child.
