social skills workshops/mentoring schemes

[sprout2]

Hello,

Can anyone suggest any social skills workshops for my son? He is 13 and doesn't have very good social skills, (he's dyslexic and suffers intermittent hearing loss due to glue ear, which I think are both contributory in the problematic way he goes about socializing). I would really like to hear of any groups that help children who struggle with this.

Also can anyone also suggest a mentoring scheme?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't know of any such groups in Haringey.

Have you contacted Haringey Autism?
The Enfield NAS branch is very well organised with lots of activities.

Markfield, Resources For Autism or The Autism Team based in Haringey might be able to help.

Try Head Held High. I'm not sure if they have any programmes at the moment though.
