I'm so pleased to hear that the social skills training helped. Our local university runs a 10 week course, with concurrent parent training, but kids have to be in grade 3 to be eligible. I'm not sure whether to wait until next year or look for an alternative.
My DS has also joined Scouts as I had similar thoughts about practising social skills with a group of kids other than his school group.
I don't suppose there is ever a single solution. I'm meeting with his teacher again in a couple of weeks, so I'm working on a list of things that seems to be working, as well as the things that are really frustrating DS.
