Yes, goals around both social and emotional needs can be written into your child's IEP. It's great that you are aware of those needs so that you can bring them up at the meeting and help decide what type of supports would be best, how progress will be measured, and how often you will receive progress updates on those goals.

Yes. The social worker at our school works with the ASD kids on socializing. They play games, and help stimulate conversations. She used to be assigned an older kid to play with her at recess too. The social worker has her own set of goals as well added to the iep. If the school isn't responsive to this idea go to the special education department for your district.

Absolutely!
