We had a discussion with David and his mother about how things were going and the areas that had improved since the last team meeting. We then moved onto discuss David’s lack of social interaction with his peers and looked at steps to improve this. I agreed to look in to things in the community and come back to David with options that he could choose from. I did this later that day finding information online about the Dove Club
