Description

"Children and Adolescents with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder or other special needs frequently present with difficulties in interpersonal relationship skills. These deficits range from mild to severe and may impact on self-esteem, affect, school performance and a variety of other psychosocial domains. Interpersonal relationships correlate highly with self-esteem. It is extremely difficult for any child to have a strong sense of self if his/her interpersonal world is impoverished or characterized by chronic conflicts. Given that interpersonal skills are required for many endeavors, it is critical to intervene in this area when working with special needs children and adolescents" [website]
