Have you received these yet and what do you think? I checked the website on

your suggestion and also thought it looked good. I'd love to hear!

Thanks,

Re: DAN approach and aspergers . . . ?

We have just ordered a book and a video from a website

www.socialthinking.com that both appear to be very geared toward

providing very practical help to both kids and parents on how to

improve our kid's social interactions. The site also has some good

discussion about the social issues that impact our kids. Haven't

received the stuff to totally vouch for it yet, but it looks like

the resources available there have the potential to be pretty helpful.

We received the Social Thinking material(workbook and video) several

weeks ago and am still working our way through them the first time.

First impression is that they (partiularly the video)will provide

some pretty good tips on how to help us (parents/caregivers/teachers)

help the asperger type child with social stuff. Some of the material

seems pretty " clinical " but it does appear to provide alot of

practical tips for us parent types also.

We've just really struggled to find practical resources and

instruction on helping us help our wonderful almost 7 yo aspergerish

child with advancing his social interactions. Any tips would sure be

appreciated.
