Background/Objective: Researchers have traditionally reported that individuals with Down syndrome possess a strength in their social development, yet the opposite occurs with Asperger’s syndrome. Based on this premise, we sought to assess effectiveness of the social skills training program. Method: Thirty adolescents aged 11 to 14 years with Down syndrome and Asperger’s syndrome participated in the study. Results: Significant differences between both groups were detected in the posttreatment measures and a connection was found between adolescents’ learning potential and the benefits gained. Conclusions: The training program is effective at improving the social skills under evaluation in adolescents with Down syndrome; however, this benefit is greater among adolescents with Asperger’s syndrome.

Šešiolikos užsiėmimų programą vedė profesionalus socialinis darbuotojas. Socialiniams paauglių įgūdžiams lavinti naudoti instruktavimo, modeliavimo, vaidmenų žaidimų, elgesio generalizacijos ir kiti darbo grupėje metodai. Tyrime naudotas trianguliacijos metodas: taikytos kokybinio ir kiekybinio tyrimų prieigos. Atliktas veiklos tyrimas atskleidė, kad socialinių įgūdžių lavinimo programa bendrojo lavinimo mokykloje yra iš dalies veiksminga. Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad berniukai tapo atviresni, pradėjo labiau reikšti savo jausmus ir domėtis, kaip jaučiasi kiti bendraamžiai. Tyrime dalyvavę paaugliai pradėjo dažniau inicijuoti pokalbius, tarpusavio sąveikose tapo drąsesni. Grupės darbe pokytis buvo nustatytas merginų tarpe, jos tapo vieningesnės, „drąsiai dalindavosi savo situacijomis bei įsitraukdavo į grupinį darbą“. Remiantis atlikto tyrimo duomenimis, bendrojo lavinimo mokykloms rekomenduojama organizuoti nuolatinius ir ilgalaikius socialinių įgūdžių lavinimo užsiėmimus, kuriuose galėtų dalyvauti skirtingą socialinę kompetenciją turintys vaikai ir paaugliai.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: socialiniai įgūdžiai, prevencinis socialinių įgūdžių lavinimas, socialinių įgūdžių lavinimas mokykloje.Preventive Training of Social Skills at School: Development of Social Skills in AdolescentsŽaneta Grinkevičiūtė, Jorūnė Vyšniauskytė-RimkienėSummaryA preventive program of training social skills was developed and implemented in-class for 14–16-year-old adolescents in a regular secondary school.

Students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) are likely to require interventions to help them navigate the social demands of the school environment. Several meta-analyses of social skills interventions have been conducted, which have provided guidance and demonstrated the effectiveness of social skills training for students with EBD. This article details a framework for teaching and practicing social skills interventions. Included in it are descriptions of several social skills strategies and ways in which the teaching of them can be individualized to meet the needs of students with EBD.
