Stream Online: Social Therapy and The Learning Disabled
A 2 1/2 hr mp3 of a live seminar.
Adults often look back on their adolescent years with fond nostalgia remembering them as full of fun and camaraderie amidst a time of growth and change. For many individuals with learning disabilities and developmental disabilities however, adolescence can be a time characterized by crippling social anxiety, depression, debilitating self-image, dysfunctional social skills, and family distress. These problems continue into adulthood where they often worsen over time. In addition issues like over-dependence on parents, employment problems, difficulty with independent living skills and stress disorders, are factored into the picture. Because of their problems, these individuals are often ostracized from the mainstream of life.
This tape is for parents of a learning – developmentally disabled child (childhood-adult), any concerned adult, and professionals. Listeners will learn the basic concepts and strategies necessary to facilitate healthy social functioning for individuals with “social handicaps”. You will also hear from individuals who have conquered their disabilities and who live healthy and productive lives.
