Abstract:

Abstract This study evaluated the effectiveness of a classroom based training in teaching social skills to four adolescent females between the ages of 13–17 years old and residing in foster care. The training took place over a three week period, one night a week, for three hours at a time and utilized a Behavioral Skills Training format. The assessments were conducted via role play scenarios; pre- and posttraining. The results show each participant demonstrated an overall increase in skills from pretraining to posttraining indicating that youth in foster care were capable of learning the skill

Abstract:

Social Skills Training for Head Injured Adults Research has demonstrated numerous personality and behavioral disturbances resulting from head injury (Lezak,1978). It is these changes rather than the physical disabilities that create the stress, in the long term for the relatives of the head injured (MeKinley,1981). Therefore, social skills training is a important part of intervention with this population. This study evaluates a social skills training program "Stacking the Deck" (Braunling-McMorrow et al 1986) which has been modified to include structured learning assignments. This is a single

Abstract:

The development of social skills in children is of primary importance in predicting a child's healthy development. Social competence in early childhood significantly predicts future academic achievement, health related outcomes, and self-efficacy in social situations in later life. Parent training has been shown to both reduce negative parenting styles and produce improvements in children's pro-social behavior. The current study compared the effects of social skills training in combination with parent training to determine the additive effects of a Social Skills Training (SST) program. Partici

Abstract:

Social skills training is a need among autistic adolescents. This investigation examined a social skills training program involving several teaching strategies. Specific social skills were targeted for improvement. Attempts to decrease negative social behaviors were made. Five autistic adolescents participated in the program and five were selected for the no-treatment group. Two measures were used. A survey addressing the skills targeted in the program was completed by parents and teachers before and after the program. A test conversation with a stranger and a peer was conducted with each su

Abstract:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition associated with core difficulties in social skills. ASD is frequently associated with co-occurring conditions including mental health issues. Intellectual Disability (ID) is also common; however, research with children who have ASD tends to focus on children with ASD without ID (ASD/non-ID). Study 1 of this thesis investigated the association between social skills and mental health in a school-based sample of 292 children aged six to 13 with ASD. Of the sample, 217 had ASD/non-ID and 76 had ASD and co-occurring Mild ID

This study takes into account the fact that there are similar services in Libya that are addressing the social and educational needs of children with autism however these remain in the early stages of development and are making little progress, largely because of the lack of robust knowledge and understanding that exists around autism by policy makers, the general public and organisations.

Abstract:

Previous research has demonstrated that behavioral skills training (BST) is effective in teaching social skills to individuals with developmental disabilities, but often the skills fail to generalize. One strategy to promote generalization has been the use of in situ training. In an effort to improve upon previous research BST plus in situ training was evaluated to teach greeting skills to adults living in a group home setting. The percentage of correct greeting responses was evaluated in a multiple baseline across participants design. Results showed that BST was only partially effective in te

Behavioral skills training (BST) is effective for teaching safety skills but often requires a behavior analyst to conduct the training, which can make it costly and inaccessible for most parents or teachers. Parent-conducted BST may allow for children to receive training without the need for a trained behavior analyst. However, providing parents with training can often be difficult. Manualized training from a website could allow parents access to needed material at a low or no cost.
