This research is a literature study on social anxiety experienced by Class II Jakarta-assisted Child Development Institutions (Child Development Institutions) when they are free. Previously, LPKA was widely known by the public as Child Prison. Study of the theory of experts and related studies are used as the basis for reinforcing assumptions in the field. Social anxiety in this study focused on children approaching free in Class II LPKA Jakarta. The results of the study indicate the existence of social anxiety experienced by children approaching free. One technique that can be used to overcome social anxiety is social skills training. There are three aspects of social anxiety, namely: fear of negative evaluation, social avoidance and new distres, and social avoidance and general distres. Social skills training uses the following techniques: (1) Instructions, (2) Modeling, (3) Exercises, (4) Training, feedback, reinforcement, and (5) Homework. The next interesting study to be developed is the effectiveness of social skills training in overcoming social anxiety of LPKA children before being free.

This chapter first discusses the continuum of social anxiety, beginning with shyness, and reviews many of the complex issues associated with the psychopathology of social phobia, including cognitive features and behavioral manifestations of the disorder, as well as biological findings. Many new tools for assessing social phobia have been developed, and these will be discussed as they apply to clinical practice, including social skills training, exposure-based approaches, and cognitive techniques.

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) in children can be difficult to treat, as evidenced by the varied outcomes reported post-treatment.1,2 Although childhood treatments for SAD commonly involve at least some social skills training,3 it isn’t clear whether children with SAD have particular difficulties with social skills. There is therefore a need to better establish whether social skills are an effective target for treating SAD.

Background: Children with learning disabilities (LDs) may be at risk of social anxiety because they are less socially accepted and more anxious than their peers. Approximately 70% of students with LDs experience a high level of anxiety symptoms, and they have clinical symptoms of anxiety more than their peers. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of social skills training on social anxiety disorder in students with LDs. Methods: This randomized controlled trial study included a pretest-posttest control group. Data were collected using Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (SCID-5), Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS), and Matson Evaluation of Social Skills with Youngsters (MESSY). In total, 30 participants with diagnosed LDs and high social anxiety were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group received a social skills treatment over 12 sessions of 90 minutes. After collecting the data, SPSS version 24 was used with 95% CI for data analysis. The Levene test was used to assess the equality of variances, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) employed to assess the main effect of social skills intervention. Results: The results of the ANCOVA test showed that social skills training reduced social anxiety in the intervention group (P < 0.01). The covariate (pretest of anxiety) was also significant (P < 0.01). Conclusions: This study showed that social skills training could reduce social anxiety in children with LDs. This result can be a guideline for clinicians to provide the appropriate intervention for the emotional problems of students with LDs.
