Out Of School

The use of psychoactive substances (PAS), legal or illegal, is one of the risk behaviors among children and adolescents and is associated with antisocial and / or delinquent behaviors, such as those that lead to infractions and, later, insertion in the Socio-educational system provided for in the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA). These situations are grounds for discussion and concern for parents and educators. In order to plan an intervention aimed at prevention and / or return to socially accepted behaviors, it is necessary to know the pattern of alcohol and other drug use among adolescents. Thus, 15 inmates from a semi-liberty unit under the ECA participated in this study. The profile of adolescents was raised through the following instruments: AUDIT, Q_F, DUSI-R and ASSIST. It was concluded that the pattern of use of PAS among adolescents treated in the semi-liberty regime is high when compared to the general population and, in relation to the studies, almost all had dropped out of school.

Experience Difficulty

Microcomputers offer the potential for increasing the effectiveness of language intervention for school-age children and adolescents who have language-learning disabilities. One promising application is in the treatment of students who experience difficulty comprehending figurative expressions, an aspect of language that occurs frequently in both spoken and written contexts. Although software is available to teach figurative language to children and adolescents, it is our feeling that improvements are needed in the existing programs. Software should be reviewed carefully before it is used with students, just as standardized tests and other clinical and educational materials are routinely scrutinized before use. In this article, four microcomputer programs are described and evaluated. Suggestions are then offered for the development of new types of software to teach figurative language.
