This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of psychodrama technique in enhancing social   interaction among Special Education Integration Program (SEIP) students in Malaysia. The objectives of the     study were to train SEIP students to communicate well through psychodrama, to increase self-confidence when communicating and to expose students to self-management through  psychodrama. The study was conducted via group session on a psychoeducational program   involving 13 students with different learning disabilities at Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Seri Mawar, Negeri Sembilan.

Children with learning disabilities are at greater risk of being victims of sexual abuse in schools. This paper discusses 4th year pre-service school counsellors’ specific knowledge related to self-confidence and skills to execute the prevention and support processes on the topic of sexual abuse in children with learning disabilities. Qualitative research data from the questionnaire answers received from 80 pre-service school counsellors were analysed using thematic analysis with an action research format. The results demonstrated that their preparation program was inadequate and needed more content relating to child sexual abuse. The results also showed that the knowledge of the pre-service school psychologists related to sexual abuse, the prevention and support processes for sexual abuse increased significantly after application of the action research content. These results are promising, but more research is needed to see if the increased knowledge in turn leads to application in practice and better care for victims. Keywords: Childhood sexual abuse; school psychologist; learning disabilities; action research, prevention and support processes.

The Impact

In this paper we present an empirical case study into the effects of attending a philosophy conference on social skill development in 15- to 18-year-old students. We focus on the impact that the conference had on their communication skills, sociability, cooperation and teamwork skills, self-confidence, determination, social responsibility, and empathy. These are social skills previously studied in 2017 by Siddiqui et al. who found student development in these areas as a result of Philosophy for Children (P4C) sessions in primary schools. In this paper, we ask whether our conference—Pursuit of Knowledge—brought about comparable results. Overall, attendees reported that they felt that the conference had improved their communication skills, sociability, cooperation and teamwork, self-confidence, determination, social responsibility and empathy. We conclude that further research into the potential of models of philosophy akin to the model employed by the conference should be conducted. We discuss the potential of this model as a means of educating for social skills.

ABSTRACT This study reports on women college students’ leadership, teamwork, diversity, and communication skills while planning and executing a leadership event in Japan over a period of seven months. Data were gathered from 11 students who completed two online questionnaires: Questionnaire A was administered while planning the event and Questionnaire B was administered after they executed the event. The questionnaires asked about the difficulties/joys of teamwork as both a leader and a follower as well as the lessons they learned through the process. An analysis of the questionnaire results indicated drastic changes in participants’ views of leadership, teamwork, diversity, and communication skills. Students’ learnings mostly occurred during teamwork planning efforts, but after the execution, the learnings become established as a sense of appreciation and self-confidence, thereby enhancing their potential as a leader and a follower. KEYWORDS: Leadership Education, College Student, Teamwork, Diversity, Confidence Building

The Impact

The purpose of the study was to investigate effects of Ectodermal Dysplasia(ED) on an individual’s listening and communication skills; and suggest a suitable habilitation regimen. A case study was conducted to determine the impact of the genetic condition and management approach required for it, at the clinical setting of College of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences (CSLHS), Ziauddin University, in 2013 over a year. The subject, a 5-year old girl, diagnosed with Hypohydriotic Ectodermal Dysplasia and congenital, Profound Sensorineural Hearing loss, received the Aural-Oral approach for management of listening and communication skills, based on principles of utilizing residual hearing for understanding spoken language, and developing verbal communication skills. The child was evaluated in January 2013 through informal parent-child, clinician-child interactions, and parents were interviewed for the case-history. Communication skills were screened via checklists, observation scales, whilst a norm-referenced measure of receptive-expressive language skills (Pre-school language scale), was administered on completion of a years speech therapy. The child showed remarkable improvement in communications skills within a year, progressing from language age of 12 months to 2;6 years. The Aural-Oral Approach proved to be an effective management option in Hypohydriotic Ectodermal Dysplasia; however, it would vary depending upon severity and type of the condition.

Interactive Play

The Integrated Preschool Curriculum (IPC), designed to facilitate the social integration of young children at risk for learning disabilities into mainstreamed and integrated special education classes, was compared with a standard early childhood education model curriculum. Social interaction data during play are reported for four integrated and two nonintegrated special education classes. Children in the IPC classes were found to exhibit significantly greater proportions of interactive and proximity play, while those in the contrast classes engaged in significantly greater proportions of isolate play. In the integrated classes implementing the IPC, a significantly greater proportion of the nonhandicapped children's interactive play involved handicapped children, as compared to the integrated classes employing the contrast curriculum. Similarly, in the IPC classes handicapped children played with their nonhandicapped peers more often. These data indicate that the IPC successfully promoted social interaction between handicapped and nonhandicapped students in integrated special education classes.
