[senco-forum] Autism and playtime/lunch

Warhammer games? I don't know much about these but the head at my
children's primary school ran a club for this and it was VERY popular.
And/or chess?

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
