Allan,
Thankss. I am finding the ALSUP worksheet helpful in identifying his lagging skills. It seems these are the ones my difficult child has trouble with:
- Difficulty managing emotional response to frustration so as to think rationally
- Chronic irritability and/or anxiety significantly impede capacity for problem-solving or heighten frustration
- Inflexible, inaccurate interpretations/cognitive distortions or biases (e.g., Everyones out to get me, Nobody likes me, You always blame me, Its not fair, Im stupid)
- Difficulty attending to or accurately interpreting social cues/poor perception of social nuances
- Difficulty appreciating how his/her behavior is affecting other people
- Difficulty empathizing with others, appreciating another persons perspective or point of view
- Difficulty appreciating how s/he is coming across or being perceived by others
So what "pathways" do you think these would fall under?
executive skills
language processing skills
emotion regulation skills
cognitive flexibility skills
social skills
I think I am seeing social skills and emotion regulation skills.
