Online social skills programmes?

lesleyjoan

Hi,

I am a teacher, specialist mentor and mother of a 26 year old son who has aspergers. I am very interested in finding out the views of parents and carers of children and young people aged 5 - 12 who have an autistic spectrum condition with regard to online live social skills programmes. I know that my own son would have benefitted from something like this.  I am applying for grant funding to investigate the possibilities of a pilot study and would very much value the opinions and views of the community here.

If anyone is interested in participating a quick online survey then here is a  link -

I hope that this is ok to post? Any advice where I can gather opinion would be much appreciated.

Thanks

  • My main concern was a link to a questionnaire which asked about 5-12 year olds, suggested meeting them and asked for a contact email. Whether it was addressed at parents is neither here nor there. Whether you had the best of intentions or otherwise does not matter. 

    There are safeguarding guidelines where children are involved.

    If you were informed and responsible you would have known not to do this. Your amazement at my reaction shows you haven't thought this through.

    The forum rules are clear regarding both research and asking for personal information, like contact details. You should have checked the rules before posting.

    But where children are involved you really do need to get informed of what is permitted.
