FYI. Could be of benefit to many families. Just sharing, not familiar
with the program, so checking out first should be the first thing to do.

Highly Effective Saturday Social Skills Program: Unstuck and On Target!
Registration for Spring 2014 Sessions Now Open!
The Unstuck and On Target!(c) Program helps highly intelligent, highly verbal children (ages 7-14) with social learning challenges, understand the complexities of social interactions and friendships. This 15-week intervention program, based on the nationally-distinguished, research-based curriculum is perfect for children who struggle to understand:
* How to Be a Friend
* Emotional Self-Identification
* Self-Advocacy
* Verbal and Non-verbal Social Cues
* How to be a Successful Member of a Group
* How to Be Flexible
Held on Saturday mornings, The Unstuck and On Target!(c) Program includes weekly therapeutic student groups and parent instructional groups to create a wrap-around intervention program that educates and supports the entire family. Parent sessions are led by experienced and trained teaching staff from Ivymount's Model Asperger Program, and will include direct instruction, student observation, round-table discussion and follow-up support. All student sessions are staffed by a team of professionals from The Ivymount School.
