My child is 6 years old and has problem in social skills. Is there any social skills class for special needs children?

Last year, Dr Tara Levinson from Southside Family Health Centre ran a class called "Superflex - social thinking". Don't know if she's got another class scheduled to run. Call 2592 9000 and enquire.
Best of luck!

Thanks, I contacted them already. Did your child join it before? Appreciated if you could share your experience.

There is also a place called CDC (Child Development Center) in Wanchai and at Matilda. They run social skills classes for different age groups. Give them a call. They have wonderful therapists who run the program twice a week. I heard that the Wanchai location is open to everyone (not just special needs) and is on a first come first serve basis, whereas the Matilda location, you have to qualify. But, it's best to call to get accurate info. Good luck

Also try 'white rose family association', as they have programs and activities for kids with special needs.

Thank you for all your input.
Unluckily, Dr Levinson's group is full!
CDC Matilda's group is up to 6 yrs old, so my child can't join it.
White rose doesn't has regular program.
So...... still looking for it......

Have a look at Fun Friends at www.etal.asia. It teaches resiliency and self management skills in kids in a group of about 10 children - which means great practice in social skills in a supervised group setting. Also I think they are running a social skills program in March 2012.
