Children and young people with high level autism and Asperger’s Syndrome are challenged by situations demanding social communication skills. Jane Baker adds to her Winter 2005 article ‘Asperations 4 U’ with this detailed discussion of the South Devon Asperger’s Group social communication groups. The Own Agenda group is for children from 3½-5 years, two communication skills groups run for 5-8 years (discussed by Gill Rogers) and 9-11+ years, with a secondary school aged group for those from 11+-19 years. The structure and ethos of each group is presented along with example activities.
