Poor conversational skills inhibit children with ASD from appropriately interacting with peers and family members, often prohibiting them from developing satisfying relationships with others. The teaching interaction procedure was utilized in the present intervention to improve conversational skills in four children with an ASD. Children ages 7-11 participated in an outpatient social skills group over a period of 10 weeks. Results suggest the teaching interaction procedure was effective in improving conversational skills for all participants. This study highlights issues related to conducting short-term group therapy with individuals with ASD.","PeriodicalId":439866,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of School and Cognitive Psychology","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127564111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the introduction of positive psychology, the scope of professional practice expanded to include previously neglected areas of strength, optimism, and subjective well-being. The strengths-based approach used in social work shares similar concerns and ethical underpinnings to those of positive psychology. Yet, when it comes to gay men of colour, the field has been slow and uneven in its focus. By continuing to ignore the sources of strength that give rise to resilience among gay men of colour, social work runs the risk of remaining stagnant and nonresponsive to the needs of this population. Positive psychology relevance to social work lies in its reminder about the importance of a more holistic view of the human condition.","PeriodicalId":439866,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of School and Cognitive Psychology","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122732870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Class of 1998-99 (N=21,396) to assess change in children’s internalizing problem behaviors (IPB) and interest in reading (IR) from elementary school to middle school. Specifically, we applied Latent Difference Score Models (LDSMs) to evaluate: (a) dynamic structural change and (b) differential lead-lag relations between these two processes. We assessed the effect of each construct’s state at any given time on the changes in the other construct at a subsequent time. Our analyses indicate that children’s IR temporally preceded and predicted changes in IPB from third to eighth grade. The reverse pattern, however, was not supported. We showcase the utility of LDSMs as a tool for evaluation of dynamic changes and lead-lag relations across time.","PeriodicalId":439866,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of School and Cognitive Psychology","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129500158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
