I'm looking for ideas to provide appropriate and safe social networking for a student I work with. She's in middle school and very social, but at an early to mid-elementary level academically. Because she has moved around and been in different programs, she doesn't have many friends here yet and is very lonely. I'd like to find a way for her to connect with kids her age, but I'm worried about her safety online, especially on sites like MySpace and Facebook. Any ideas?

My son with Asperger's tends to speak inappropriately loudly in conversation, as well as having difficulty with an appropriate level of personal space. These difficulties have both affected his abilities to socialize with his peers, and interact with people in public spaces. He has been through social skills training, but tends to 'forget' to modulate his voice when he is engaged in conversation or excited about a topic. Are there technologies available that might help provide him with cues or reminders of appropriate behavior in public places?

Is there any technology that could help a child learn social skills? My nephew has been diagnosed with an Anxiety Disorder and struggles with social skills and behavioral issues. My sister battles with him daily to get him to go to school and the school administration has recently suggested that he learn from home using an on-line program.
Though he is receiving medication for his anxiety, his social skills have really suffered. Learning from home might help with his anxiety, but how will that help him improve his social skills? Is there technology out there that might help him?
