Social
Communication Skills for Children: A Workbook for Principle Centered Communication
This workbook provides a wide range of scenarios that are relevant to today’s
social environment in which children ages 8 through 11 can practice problem
solving through communication. Increasingly, speech-language pathologists
are asked to assist in helping children actively participate socially with
their peers. This book provides activities that help children, with teachers
or therapists as their guides, to discover the principles that govern social
communication and to apply those principles to realistic events in their lives.
This workbook helps you help children to form a deeper understanding of the
factors involved in social communication so that they can develop skills that
will make them more effective communicators. It is structured in its framework
but highly flexible in its application (it is process, not program, oriented).
You will find this workbook relevant to today’s social environment in
that it deals with issues such as diversity and conflict resolution. It clearly
defines essential principles for social communication that can be applied
across a wide range of settings and age groups.
The workbook minimizes lecture presentation in favor of active participation
by the children. The book is designed to be flexible enough so that virtually
all of it can be integrated into individual, small group, or classroom size
settings. In addition, by enabling the therapist and the student to actively
integrate the principles presented, they are able to then generate their own
social scenarios that will allow them to problem solve personally relevant
situations

A Guide to Interpretation
and Educational Intervention
Steve Truch
This book is for practicing school psychologists, clinical and counseling
psychologists, and anyone else who uses the new Wechsler Intelligence Scale,
Fourth Edition (WISC-IV). The WISC-IV has been extensively revised; and because
of that, some of its educational implications need to be revisited.
This book helps examiners generate hypotheses
about individual children's learning patterns. It draws heavily on the author's
extensive experience with administering and interpreting the WISC-R, WISC-III,
and WISC-IV. The WISC-IV Companion promises to become the number one desk
reference interpreting this test.
Extensively illustrated with face sheets
from the WISC-IV, The WISC-IV Companion provides many examples of educational
approaches and strategies that can be used in counseling and classroom settings,
plus plenty of resources for further reading. It also arms readers with a
comprehensive, eclectic understanding of the WISC-IV. Readers can quickly
sift through and make sense of what the WISC-IV has to offer regarding a student's
educational and intervention needs.
