Apologies for the long title, I am an experienced teacher and tutor with mainstream school children but I have been given a special assignment.
They want me to tutor (1-2-1 basis) a boy who should be on his last weeks of primary school but has been excluded (no details of why) but instead has no education....this is where I come in!

They wish for me to educate an 11yo boy with ASD in Literacy, Numeracy and Social Skills to; these sessions will be attended by his mother.
My boss tells me that it'll be x5 hours a day every week day for 2 weeks and he must not only have breaks in between but he must also be taken on trips within that time! Which sounds very different to what i'm used to but I grateful that they wished my involvement.

Any ideas of where me, the boy and his mother can go?
Or ideas of how to come up with ideas of where to go for our day trips?

Also, very importantly- how do you think I could collaborate literacy, numeracy and social skills into the trips and back at their house together? I'd be grateful for any examples! :)

I know I should come up with this but I am more used to classroom and governmental building settings with expelled EBD children and teenagers as opposed to this.

First session I would use to talk to the boy and his mum to find out about his abilities limitations, interests, motivations, quirks and triggers.

Then plan together, perhaps make a visual timetable.

It's hard to give examples without knowing interests and abilities but over two weeks you could have a project to build something which would involve researching what is needed, writing lists, working out how much it will cost etc. then going to the shops to buy the things (asking for items in shops, carrying out the transactions) which would include all those skills.

Or museum on history project
Or art gallery to encouage poetry which is often a difficult task for ASD child
Or visit to cafe ..ordering etc for social skills..money management in maths
Or review a movie after visit to cinema
Or trip on train when studying timetable problems
