Article: [senco-forum] Autism and playtime/lunch

I am about to take over as SENCo at an independent secondary school and  
providing lunchtime activities for children with aspergers/similar type symptoms  
is one of the things I have to address. The children are allowed in the 
library  and can use their laptops there at lunchtime but again this can be quite  
isolating. So far I have thought about setting up a Games Club - board, card  
games  - maybe Pictionary etc as a way of providing something to do,  somewhere 
to go and hopefully as a way of fostering friendships. Any other ideas  would 
be very welcome.
Thanks
Chris
