Our school does some informal social skills groups but I have declined to allow our GS9 from attending. GS would have been grouped with kids who had pretty severe behavior issues and I did not want him grouped with them at school. There is a stigma about kids going to different groups, I did not want other kids pegging him as one of 'those' kids who fight, stick carrots up their noses & then eats it(true!), etc. I also have concerns about the qualification of the leader. I would be OK with a group outside of school.
