About this issue
Studies have consistently shown that children with Learning Disorders have deficits in social skills. This paper is a case-report of a nine year old girl diagnosed with Disorder of Mixed scholastic skills. The child also had deficits in social skills due to which she had difficulties in peer relationships and was constantly embroiled in fighting and teasing. The dynamics of this case are presented with reference to the literature, personal temperaments and dysfunctional beliefs of the child and also the environmental conditions. To improve her social skills using effective techniques, a program of eight sessions based on Spence’s ‘Social Skill Training’ method was applied. The areas focused on were Social perception, Understanding feelings, Conversation-listening skills, Anger & Relaxation, Peer relationship skills and Dealing with conflicts. Multimedia videos were also used in the social skills training process. The mother simultaneously participated in generalization training designed to support her child’s transfer of skills. Each session of the social skills training program are presented in detail. Pre and post training assessment was conducted. There was a post training increase in the social skills scores obtained on the measures and mother too reported a significant improvement in the social skills of the child.
