I request you all to suggest some day to day activities and techniques to improve social skills of Dyslexic children( helping tendency, conversation, assertiveness, )?
Hi Ganesh!
I think the first step would be to provide a theoretical or otherwise supported account for why should Dyslexic children struggle with social skills. Do you have a reason in mind?
If you are thinking that they might struggle with social embeddedness that might be one route, if you think it might be due to emotional naming (as in, being able to name what I'm feeling in a way that might help me behave better socially) that might be another, and if you think it has to do with self-concept that might be another route altogether... I think it really is about the theory in this case, then you can make predictions as to which intervention might work...
This is an excellent study: ADAMS, C., GAILE, J., LOCKTON, E. and FREED, J., 2015, Integrating Language, Pragmatics, and Social Intervention in a Single-Subject Case Study of a Child With a Developmental Social Communication Disorder. Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 46(4), 294-311.
hello my name is nicola smith in england manchester, running a project called bridging the gap. what the aim of the project initially was to help people with dyslexia to overcome their dyslexia. what has transpire now is that i counsel them one to one and on a group basis as i have found out that when they were children they were bullied which caused the isolation away from other people. so what i do is to talk to them to talk about their difficulties and then get them in a group situation to interact either in a discussion or as an activity. this creates a distraction away from their problems whilst talking to other people who is in the same situation . all of this is private and confidentiality. by the end of the activity, hopefully, everyone remains friends. then you can begin to start to plan more activities which include making friends without the help of the carer.
i help adults and children with dyslexia who suffers from social skills. the types of activities i invite them to come to become more active with is on a three fold. the first one is a cookery side, craft side, and a group counselling. with the cookery and craft side, those who can do those activities are paired up with those who cannot do the activities. when it comes to the group counselling, every body is in the same boat and they can discuss their difficulties and become closer. in the end their social anxiety and depression from the issues from childhood becomes a lesser problem.
