Download or read book ADHD and Social Skills written by Esta M. Rapoport and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2009-09-16 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) leave for school in the morning with a smile and a backpack, ready to make friends. They often return from school after having been bullied. Children with ADHD appear vulnerable to their peers, because they misinterpret social cues and behave in a socially inappropriate manner. These children have few if any friends. This book explains the difficulties that children with ADHD endure to those individuals who do not understand the complexities of these children's problems. Difficulties with attention, organization and social interaction are listed, defined, and described. Teachers and personnel who work with these children in school and parents who work with their children at home are offered innovative techniques for improving these children's behavior, in a way that everyone can understand and implement. Real-life experiences of average people living with children with ADHD are included, so that parents can feel less alone in their experiences.
Download or read book Social Skill Impairments in Elementary School Children with ADHD and Depression written by Nicole M. Centrella and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders, affecting 3-7% of children worldwide (American Psychiatric Association, 2013; Graziano, Geffken, & McNamara, 2011; Spencer, Biederman, & Mick, 2007). Numerous studies have examined factors related to comorbidity of depression and ADHD, as well as social skills deficits in children with ADHD, research that examines the social skill deficits in elementary school children with both ADHD and depression is lacking. The purpose of this study is to determine whether elementary school children with comorbid diagnoses of ADHD and depression differ from children with only an ADHD diagnosis in terms of social skill impairment. In the parent study, the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS); the Child Depression Inventory (CDI); the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA)'s Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and Teacher Report Form (TRF); the Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS); the Columbia Impairment Scale (CIS); the Parent Child Relationship Questionnaire (PCRQ); and the Disruptive Behavior Stress Inventory (DBSI) were completed in addition to a standard ADHD battery which includes IQ and achievement tests as well as ADHD checklists. In the current study, CBCL, TRF, and SSRS scores from the 102 participants were compared across the two diagnostic groups to determine whether the groups differ on one or more behaviors including social skills, problem behaviors, social competence, externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Results of a one-way MANCOVA showed significant group differences between individuals with ADHD and those with ADHD and Depression on the CBCL Externalizing Problems Scale, showing that parents report higher externalizing behaviors than teachers. Significant group differences were also found between parents and teachers on the CBCL and TRF Internalizing Problems and Social Problems Scales, with parents reporting more problems than teachers. Understanding deficits in social skills for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and depression can help psychologists develop better interventions for home and school that can help these individuals. It is also important to understand how a comorbid diagnosis of depression can affect a child's presentation of social skills as well as his or her perception of self-worth.

This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That children are capable of pathology—not only such conditions as ADHD and learning disabilities, but also such "adult" disorders as anxiety and depression—stands as a defining moment in psychology’s recent history. Within this recognition is the understanding that the social skills deficits that accompany these disorders must be targeted for assessment and treatment to ensure optimal functioning in school, with peers, and in later transitions to puberty and adulthood.

A panel of leading scholars reviews current research, discusses social deficits unique to specific disorders, and identifies evidence-based best practices in one authoritative, approachable reference.

Analyzes the etiology of social behavior problems in children and the relation between these problems and psychopathology. Reviews 48 norm-referenced measures of social skills in children.

Download or read book Social Skills of Children and Adolescents written by Kenneth W. Merrell and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scholarly yet highly readable and practical text systematically covers the importance, development, assessment, and treatment of social skills of children and adolescents. Combining scientific rigor with a highly approachable and readable style of writing to create a practical and unique book, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of the increasingly important topic of child and adolescent social skills. A wide variety of tables, figures, and practical step-by-step guides enhance the material presented, making it particularly useful for practitioners while offering an extensive array of recent research and models of interest to researchers. The authors present a solid foundation of scientific knowledge written in a manner accessible to nonscientists and having ample practical implications and examples for educational and clinical practice. The book is divided into two parts--the first features a foundation for conceptualizing and assessing child and adolescent social skills, whereas the second focuses on the arena of intervention. An up-to-date and unique addition to the literature, this volume will be of interest to professionals who work with or study children across several disciplines including school and clinical child psychology, special education, counseling, and social work. Although many books and other professional materials on the social competence of children and adolescents are presently available, the knowledge regarding these social skills is expanding rapidly, and there is a tremendous need to keep it current. This book helps meet this need by not only synthesizing a great deal of recent work in the field, but also by providing new information and evidence that has not yet been published. It also bridges an important gap that sometimes exists between research and practice. For instance, some books on child and adolescent social skills are clearly written for the academician or researcher, and may have little apparent application for the clinician or practitioner. Other materials are written as practical assessment or intervention guides for the clinician/practitioner, yet sometimes lack supporting evidence and rationale. This book is aimed at both arenas.
