Socially ADDept: A Manual for Parents of Children with ADHD and/or Learning Disabilities-

      Socially ADDept covers the same 10 basic skills as the ADDept Social Skills Curriculum. Presented in an easy to read, workbook format, parents are guided through exercises that teach children the basic concepts behind the "hidden" rules of communication. Especially targeted for children who learn through experiencing appropriate versus inappropriate behaviors, the manual helps parents demonstrate how to handle problematic situations differently. Among the skills presented are:

        • Listening and responding
        • Understanding Jokes and Sarcasm
        • Comprehending and using appropriate body language
        • Effectively joining on-going groups
        • Effectively managing teasing

        Socially ADDept provides information to de-mystify the behaviors of children with attentional problems. But beyond this, Dr. Giler provides specific strategies to deal effectively with specific social situations. Eminently readable, this book belongs on your bookshelf...but will undoubtedly not spend much time there. It is a book that will be used and referred to often!
