This proved to be easier said than done. The nearest group is over 30 miles away one way. Still, we spent every Tuesday evening last spring driving to the group, hoping that it would assist Danny in learning proper social skills. While the group was good, and the leader was super friendly and great with the kids, there were limitations on its curriculum. I felt like it was a bit too basic for Danny.
What Danny needed was a group that would teach him to actually apply the skills that he had learned.
I thought and prayed and researched. And after writing a post about my son's obsession with legos I realized that starting a LEGO social skills group would be ideal.
The only catch? It was going to cost. A lot!
This is why my husband and I have applied for a Pepsi Refresh grant. Throughout May 2011, we need as many people to vote for our project as possible. We'd really appreciate your support!
