Book Effects of Video Self Modelling on the Social and Communicative Skills of Children with Attention deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Download or read book Effects of Video Self Modelling on the Social and Communicative Skills of Children with Attention deficit Hyperactivity Disorder written by Laura Stanley and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have been shown to lack particular communicative language and social skills, leading to poor social relationships, and lack of academic success. To date, there is a lack of interventions that focus on improving these deficits. Our research examined whether a Video Self Modeling (VSM) intervention would be successful in significantly improving communicative language skills and social skills in children with ADHD. Using a multiple baseline design, four participants from the age of 7-12 participated in a VSM intervention. Each participant focused on two behaviors, which were chosen dependent on the individual’s deficits. These included eye contact, turn taking, following directions, emotion regulation, and appropriate language. Teachers additionally completed a socialisation questionnaire before and after the intervention to assess behavior change. Results indicated that VSM was a highly effective and efficient method for the improvement the target behaviors chosen for each participant. The intervention significantly improved these skills in the 2-week intervention period, with improvements remaining at 1 and 2 month follow up. Therefore, the results of this study show that video self modeling may be an effective method for improving communicative and social skills in children with ADHD.

Book ADD ADHD Alternatives in the Classroom

Download or read book ADD ADHD Alternatives in the Classroom written by Thomas Armstrong and published by ASCD. This book was released on 1999 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to a kid to be labeled attention-deficit disordered (ADD)? Or to have "hyperactive" added to the label (ADHD)? What can teachers do to boost the success of students with attention and behavioral difficulties? Are we relying too much on medication for these kids and not enough on new perspectives on learning, child development, the child's socioeconomic and cultural background, biological and psychological research, and the learner's emotional and social needs? Armstrong urges educators and parents to look for the positive characteristics in learners who may carry the ADD/ADHD label. Are they bursting with energy? Are they intensely creative? Do they enjoy hands-on learning? Are they natural leaders? Are they unusually introspective and reflective? We need to look beyond a "deficit" approach and embrace a more holistic view of learners that includes teaching to their multiple intelligences, learning styles, and other brain-friendly approaches. For example, here are some classroom activities for kids who "can't sit still" Learning spelling words by having kids jump up out of their seats on the vowels and sit down on the consonants. Mastering the multiplication tables by forming a conga line, moving around the classroom counting from 1 to 30 out loud, and on every multiple of 3 shaking their hips and legs. Showing patterns of molecular bonding in chemistry class through a "swing your atom" square dance.
