[Episode 60]Today’s Social Work Podcast is on social skills grooming alongside children together with adolescents. My guest, Craig Winston LeCroy defines social skills equally “a complex laid of skills that facilitate the successful interactions betwixt peers, parents, teachers, together with other adults” (LeCroy, 2009, 653). Social skills include everything from wearing clothing together with demeanour codes, to rules virtually what, when, together with how to country or non to country something. Social skills grooming is a shape of demeanour therapy, together with equally such focuses on behaviors, rather than thoughts or feelings, equally the targets for change. Traditional demeanour modification is oft thought of inward price of business completion, for example, using star charts to acquire kids to create clean their rooms or produce homework. But inward social skills training, demeanour modification principles are used to instruct people skills that assist them to hold upwardly successful inward social situations.Download MP3 [28:42]
I encountered an instance of social skills grooming concluding calendar week alongside my 2 1/2-year-old daughter. My daughter’s daycare is genuinely goodness virtually letting us know what the kids did during the day. My married adult woman together with I oft utilization that information equally the footing for conversations alongside our daughter. During dinner, we’ll inquire questions like, “Did anyone works life flowers today?” to which my missy has typically has yelled out an enthusiastic, “me!” Last calendar week nosotros were playing this game together with I asked, “Did anyone pretend to hold upwardly a develop today?” For the initiatory off fourth dimension since she could talk, my missy sat at that topographic point inward silence. Was she ignoring my question? No. She was answering my interrogation non-verbally. She was raising her hand. My married adult woman together with I were shocked. You’re in all probability non shocked to acquire that at home, my married adult woman together with I don’t heighten our hands inward response to questions. So, who is pedagogy her to heighten her hand? The adjacent day, I went to alternative her upwardly from preschool, a classroom that she transitioned into virtually iii weeks ago. The aeroplane was sitting inward a circle together with her instructor was bespeak the aeroplane questions. My missy together with her footling friends were all answering past times raising their hands. Clearly, this is where she had learned this real specific social science – that yous respond questions past times raising your hand, non past times shouting. I don’t know how her instructor did it, but I suspect that she used basic demeanour modification strategies such equally explaining the novel behavior, modeling it, together with consistently reinforcing it past times rewarding those who did it, together with punishing (either past times calling out or ignoring) those who did not. I also suspect that my missy learned past times watching her older classmates produce it. While component subdivision of me was distressing to reckon that my daughter’s enthusiastic “me” had been converted into a real calm, silent, together with socially acceptable raised hand, some other component subdivision of me understood that becoming Horshack from Welcome Back Kotter was non inward her best interest.
Now, I tin tell yous that when I was working alongside kids who were getting expelled for talking dorsum to their teachers, arrested for provoking the cops, or getting beaten upwardly because they managed to country precisely the incorrect affair to the incorrect person, hearing a parental anecdote virtually a toddler raising her manus would receive got left me wanting only a footling fleck more. So I asked 1 of social work’s leading experts, Craig Winston LeCroy, professor of social piece of work at Arizona State University, to utter alongside us virtually social skills grooming for children together with adolescents. Professor LeCroy has developed together with tested social skills prevention together with intervention programs, including a social skills-based prevention computer program for adolescent girls (“Empowering Adolescent Girls”), a social skills computer program for grooming dwelling solid visitors (LeCroy & Whitaker, 2005), together with an empirically based handling manual outlining a social skills computer program for centre schoolhouse students (LeCroy, 2008). In today’s interview, Craig defines social skills grooming together with emphasizes fit betwixt social skills grooming together with the ecological together with strengths orientation of social work. He talks virtually the how social workers tin effectively develop youth inward social skills, giving particular emphasis to the concepts of overlearning, role-playing together with modeling. He talks virtually providing skills grooming inward groups, equally good equally an alternative to traditional expressive play therapy - private kid science therapy. Craig emphasizes that successful social skills grooming requires noesis of specific situations together with can, therefore, hold upwardly real culturally responsive. He talks virtually how early on social skills grooming programs focused on juvenile delinquency, together with discusses some of the existing evidence, especially around modeling, to back upwardly social skills grooming equally an effective intervention. Craig talks virtually his electrical current inquiry on using social skills inward a universal prevention computer program alongside adolescent girls called “Empowering Adolescent Girls.” We complete our conversation alongside a give-and-take of resources around social skills training.
Interview questions:
- What is social skills training?
- Who are some of the folks that it is used alongside – who are the target populations?
- Could yous give some examples of what it is together with how it’s done?
- Are the skills that yous piece of work on specific to a given diagnosis, or is it non diagnosis specific?
- How are social skills taught together with how would 1 travel virtually learning how to instruct them?
- What inquiry is out at that topographic point that supports social skills grooming equally an effective intervention for working alongside kids?
- We’ve talked virtually some resources inward the concluding duet of minutes – your Handbook of Evidence-Based Treatment Manuals for Children together with Adolescents (LeCroy, 2008), together with the Empowering Adolescent Girls (LeCroy, 2001) manual through W.W. Norton. Are at that topographic point other resources that yous think listeners should know about?

Interview [06:09]
Jonathan Singer: So Craig, thank yous so much for existence hither today together with talking alongside us virtually Social Skills Training. First question: What is Social Skills Training?
Craig LeCroy: Well, thank yous for inviting me. Social Skills Training is a strategy that has been around for a long fourth dimension that focuses on pedagogy individuals real explicit novel skills. And it’s a behavioral approach. So the real key supposition behind social skills grooming is that demeanour together with skills are pre-eminent together with that’s what nosotros need, together with that’s what nosotros demand to emphasize to create change. So that’s the big focus: how produce nosotros instruct somebody some novel skills so they tin address some hard situations or environments together with brand those environments piece of work amend for them?
[06:53]
Jonathan Singer: So, who are some of the folks who are targeted? Who is it used with?
Craig LeCroy: It’s a pretty broad-based program. It’s been used a lot alongside adults, inward particular seriously mentally sick populations, but also for adults inward general. For example, the assertiveness grooming strategies that receive got been used are genuinely good, solid programs for adults alongside a multifariousness of kinds of difficulties together with issues that they’re struggling with, is a neat instance of Social Skills Training. And inward my piece of work alongside children together with adolescents, Social Skills Training tin hold upwardly used quite a lot equally a key handling strategy for working alongside a broad arrive at of issues.
[07:42]
Jonathan Singer: I’m only wondering if yous receive got whatever examples of what it is together with how it’s done.
Craig LeCroy: One of the things I similar to emphasize is how tardily it is to utilization equally a strategy; together with when I’m pedagogy my aeroplane alongside Children together with Adolescents I endeavour to acquire my students to endeavour together with think virtually how they tin choose whatever particular employment together with interpret [them] into skills that powerfulness hold upwardly helpful inward working alongside their kids. For example, yous could receive got a kid who’s feeling lonely together with isolated. Most of the fourth dimension what nosotros emphasize are, yous know, the negative kinds of things that are going on. The skills approach is to say, “What kinds of skills would assist this mortal business office better?” If they’re lonely together with isolated, they demand to acquire amend conversational skills, or social greeting skills, or those kinds of things. If yous receive got a kid that has anger problems, evidently anger administration skills come upwardly to mind. The betoken is, choose whatever sort of difficulty or employment together with think virtually what sort of skills could I instruct this mortal that would assist them business office better, to address their difficulty. And so sometimes yous tin fifty-fifty receive got a whole template of dissimilar kinds of skills that would hold upwardly quite helpful.
[08:55]
Jonathan Singer: With Social Skills Training – is it specific around a diagnosis, or is it non related to specific diagnoses?
Craig LeCroy: Well ultimately, I think it ends upwardly existence a footling fleck of both. Some social skills strategies tin hold upwardly directed towards the kinds of skills that kids demand [who] receive got real specific diagnoses. But it’s also useful for a multifariousness of dissimilar kinds of issues equally well.
I think the Social Skills Model is the top dog strategy behind most prevention programs. So if yous think virtually prevention programming -- teen sexuality, heart abuse – all of those programs genuinely boil downwards to goodness utilization of skills training. Let’s only choose teen sexuality. We know that teens are probable to acquire into problem alongside their sexuality if they don’t receive got goodness communication skills. Communicating clearly with somebody virtually sexual practice is real important. We know for instance that lots of girls acquire pressured into having sexual practice when they don’t experience they’re fix for it. Well together with then evidently that’s a province of affairs for learning assertive skills together with refusal skills.
So it becomes really, I think, quite predominant inward prevention; together with it’s 1 of the reasons I similar to emphasize Social Skills Training inward my class, because a lot of social workers are engaged inward prevention strategies. And so I experience they should genuinely know this strategy.
[10:25]
Jonathan Singer: So it sounds like, especially for folks who piece of work alongside children together with adolescents, that this is something key that everybody should genuinely know, together with know how to produce it.
Craig LeCroy: Exactly, together with your betoken reminded me (with the diagnoses), a goodness instance is alongside ADHD. They’ve constitute that Social Skills Training (Henshaw’s done a lot of piece of work on this), where that’s a genuinely goodness population where yous tin produce some genuinely specific Social Skills Training, because yous choose kids who receive got ADHD – they lack planning skills; they lack organizational skills. Helping them acquire planful together with organized is genuinely of import for them to hold upwardly able to business office well. So fifty-fifty if you’re doing other kinds of handling strategies (let’s country 1 of your other handling strategies is parent administration training; you’re working alongside the parents); it tin also hold upwardly quite helpful to piece of work individually alongside these kids together with assist them acquire some of those specific skills.
It tin also hold upwardly genuinely creative. I’ll give yous an instance of some creative application, where sometimes I’ll piece of work alongside private kids, together with I tin assist them modify the means other people respond to them. People don’t oft think virtually this equally a strategy. So let’s country yous receive got an ADHD kid inward the classroom together with he’s having some problematic interactions alongside the instructor or he has a personality trend that’s bothersome to the teacher. Well that powerfulness Pb the instructor to non attend to him real much. I powerfulness instruct that kid to reinforce the instructor for responding to him; instruct him some skills to country to the teacher, “I genuinely appreciate it when yous come upwardly over together with give me some additional attending together with focus on this work, because together with then I acquire through it to a greater extent than easily.” So right away that kid is genuinely changing the environs that is problematic for him.
[12:11]
Jonathan Singer: So how are social skills taught, together with how would 1 travel virtually learning how to instruct them?
Craig LeCroy: The basic strategy is to choose a province of affairs or a context together with and then intermission downwards the skills. So component subdivision of the challenge inward doing successful social skills grooming is taking something complicated breaking it downwards together with (as much equally yous can) inward dissimilar steps, together with and then pedagogy the dissimilar steps. The to a greater extent than that yous think virtually human demeanour the to a greater extent than yous realize how complicated it is. So only similar initiating a conversation for an early on adolescent, sometimes they’re non real skillful at that—from a Social Skills grooming betoken of view, yous would intermission that downwards into genuinely elementary steps. I’m going to travel innovate myself. I’m going to inquire a question. I’m going to inquire some other question. And that’s how yous genuinely acquire a conversation starting. So sometimes it seems overly simple, but the fact is those interactions are genuinely quite complicated. It’s sort of similar pedagogy a hubby together with married adult woman to engage inward to a greater extent than thorough conversation, when sometimes 1 of the best things yous tin produce is instruct 1 of them to inquire 2 questions, because usually, someone says something, together with they only desire to utter virtually what’s going on for them, together with they don’t experience real listened to. So this elementary science – inquire 2 questions – becomes genuinely quite useful together with helpful. And it’s quite tardily to learn; so that’s a overnice slice of it equally well.
So inward price of grooming alongside social skills, it’s genuinely of import to utilization over-learning: take a particular skill, together with brand for sure the mortal learns the science together with exercise it several times. And that’s 1 of the things practitioners neglect to do. And when yous produce that, at that topographic point are a lot of additional benefits. You build a person’s confidence; there’s sense of self-efficacy. So it’s got a lot of these other additional outcomes that I think are genuinely of import inward the full general modify procedure that you’re trying to piece of work towards. That’s genuinely important. Defining the science real explicitly – breaking it downwards so that it’s clear when they’re coming together that skill, when they’ve performed mastery of the science -- that’s important. And of course, full general Social Skills Training focuses a lot on modeling together with role-playing, so that’s why inward groups it’s oft best used. And yous tin develop some models, together with that tin hold upwardly helpful.
Now I desire to utter a footling fleck virtually how yous tin produce this individually equally well, because I’ve constitute that inward some clinical situations people halt upwardly working alongside kids individually. And piece I produce think that is oft limited equally an intervention because I’m much to a greater extent than oriented to the parent administration models together with household unit of measurement models but it does sometimes brand sense to piece of work individually alongside kids. And rather than produce sort of a traditional play therapy (which I think is non that effective), I prefer to receive got a focus on child skills therapy, if yous will. So, genuinely pedagogy the kid real specific skills that they’re going to acquire together with hold upwardly able to apply inward dissimilar situations.
[15:28]
And 1 other affair I wanted to call virtually the skills grooming that I think is useful is that it puts a lot of emphasis on the situational context together with agreement the situations. So that I think is a genuinely goodness component subdivision of the model. So when you’re trying to acquire virtually what skills should I teach, you’re also trying to figure out what situations does the mortal demand the skills for. So you’re finding out what the situations are together with and then you’re matching the skills to those situations. And inward that way, sometimes I similar the model because it tin hold upwardly real culturally responsive.
I’ll give yous an example. We were doing some inquiry alongside American Indian youth. So the interrogation at that topographic point is, what sort of situations produce they current of air upwardly inward where they are to a greater extent than probable to hold upwardly pressured into getting into drug utilization (because nosotros were studying prevention). So nosotros tried to written report that past times talking to kids, doing focus groups, gathering dissimilar ways of gathering data, together with build situations. And together with then when nosotros build the situations together with give them dorsum to the kids together with and then acquire feedback, nosotros sort of acquire this laid of situations that genuinely becomes real useful for skills training. So alongside the Native American kids 1 of the things nosotros constitute is that they genuinely acquire initiated into drug utilization inward household unit of measurement situations. Well that was sort of novel to us. And together with then nosotros said, good nosotros receive got to come upwardly up alongside situations where at that topographic point are like, household unit of measurement circumstances together with and then instruct them resistance skills inward that context.
So together with then it becomes genuinely responsive that way. And that’s 1 of the neat benefits, is trying to figure out what those situations are. The fault a lot of people brand is that they only assume that for sure skills are the correct skills. But how produce yous know that? You demand to travel dorsum together with await at the situations. What kinds of skills are the situations demanding? It’s real ecological that way, together with so it has a goodness fit for Social Work because of that.
[17:27]
Jonathan Singer: Talking virtually Social Skills Training I’m reminded of when I would piece of work equally an outpatient therapist. I would receive got kids who would acquire into residential treatment. And I powerfulness see them together with 1 of the things kids inward residential would e'er produce is they would come upwardly up to me, together with say, “Hi, my call is ‘so-and-so;’ welcome to our cottage.” And that would hold upwardly an instance of some Social Skills Training. They’ve been taught how to innovate themselves; hold upwardly polite; milk tremble my hand, together with and then inquire me a interrogation like, “Would yous similar something to drink?”
Craig LeCroy: Yeah, absolutely, together with yous know what this reminds me of is that some of the original inquiry that initiated a lot of focus on Social Skills Training was done alongside juvenile delinquents. And 1 of the things that they constitute is that those kids did non receive got real goodness skills at interacting alongside say-so figures, similar police. And fifty-fifty when they didn’t desire to acquire inward trouble, they oft ended upwardly getting inward trouble, because of the means they interacted alongside the police. And so they started developing skills grooming programs together with starting pedagogy them how to interact alongside people inward say-so inward ways where they wouldn’t acquire inward trouble. And it was successful. It was a big component subdivision of the early on initiation of sort of a skills-oriented approach.
[18:52]
Jonathan Singer: So that brings upwardly the interrogation of what inquiry is out at that topographic point to back upwardly Skills Training equally an effective intervention inward working alongside kids?
Craig LeCroy: Yeah, it’s a complicated question, but I think inward full general there’s quite a lot of inquiry back upwardly for Skills Training together with nosotros could await to some real specific programs where they’ve been able to demonstrate that Skills Training helped individuals acquire necessary skills. It is oft used a supplement to other treatments, so it’s oft non the exclusive strategy inward together with of itself. And the other affair virtually the inquiry back upwardly I would country is that social skills depends real heavily on modeling, together with there’s so much inquiry supporting how modeling influences behavior. So I would depict upon all of that inquiry on modeling together with advise that there’s a lot of foundation for that for Skills Training.
One of the early on studies I did was a top dog prevention model comparison Social Skills Training together with Problem-Solving alongside early on adolescent kids. One of the interesting things I constitute inward that written report is that nosotros constitute goodness outcomes from Social Skills Training; but when nosotros compared it alongside Problem Solving Strategies, which are to a greater extent than cognitive (there were also some goodness outcomes). But what nosotros constitute is that when nosotros taught kids dissimilar ways to grip dissimilar situations, their problem-solving skills got amend equally well. So the Problem-Solving intervention wasn’t whatever amend than the Social Skills intervention. So I think that’s interesting together with it suggests that if nosotros travel along getting kids to focus on trying novel skills inward dissimilar situations, they tin acquire how to think virtually those situations equally well.
[20:44]
Jonathan Singer: That’s genuinely interesting. So you’re maxim it’s a complicated question, together with the respond is complicated inward component subdivision because the theoretical foundation for Social Skills Training has a lot of inquiry behind it already, inward price of modeling together with inward price of the behavioral techniques, together with because it seems to piece of work best when at that topographic point are discrete situations. It’s non similar yous could say, “Oh yeah, Social Skills Training is effective…period. You would receive got to say, “This particular laid of skills has been constitute to piece of work alongside these kids around this situation.”
Craig LeCroy: Exactly. And I think a goodness instance of this is to travel dorsum to the kid alongside ADHD. I think it wouldn’t hold upwardly appropriate to only prescribe Social Skills Training for that kid. It wouldn’t hold upwardly enough; it wouldn’t work. You genuinely demand to receive got Parent Management Training. You may demand to receive got medication or at to the lowest degree an assessment for that. And together with then yous powerfulness desire to supplement all of that alongside some Social Skills Training. And lots of times inward treatment, that’s where nosotros e'er autumn short: nosotros offering such a little dose of something together with and then assume it’s going to receive got an impact. And what nosotros demand lots of times is a big dose of this.
Recently I was reviewing some National Institute of Mental Health grants. And 1 of the proposals that I genuinely liked was this very, real intensive program. And fifty-fifty though yous could reckon that it would hold upwardly real hard to implement, the thought made sense. It was for ADHD kids. It included Parent Management Training, included a summertime program, included classroom administration issues. They were taking all of these strategies together with saying, right away let’s reckon if nosotros tin receive got an impact. And for for sure 1 of the limitations would be, how many parents tin genuinely acquire their kids through all of that? That would nevertheless hold upwardly a pregnant issue. But, if nosotros could demonstrate a big touching on alongside all of those things, it powerfulness hold upwardly interesting. The interrogation they were trying to respond was, tin nosotros modify these kids’ demeanour without medication? And I thought that was a genuinely interesting question, because a lot of parents don’t desire to pose their kids on medication. And the respond to that question, nosotros didn’t genuinely know – tin nosotros supply them alongside some existent benefits if they were that motivated to produce all of these things?
[23:13]
Jonathan Singer: That’s real interesting. Are yous working on whatever projects correct right away that receive got to produce alongside Social Skills Training or where you’re using Social Skills Training?
Craig LeCroy: Yeah, 1 of the interesting programs I receive got going right away is a prevention computer program for adolescent girls. And what nosotros did, when nosotros looked at a lot of issues, developmental issues for adolescent girls, yous tin position a number of critical things: similar gender role identification, trunk icon difficulties. And yous know there’s a lot inward the pop press, similar peer relationships, the whole “mean girls” thing, all of that sort of stuff. And so nosotros looked at all of that together with nosotros realized at that topographic point wasn’t genuinely a prevention computer program that tried to address all of those things. So nosotros rolled upwardly our sleeves together with tried to blueprint a prevention computer program that was real specific to addressing all of these issues, together with nosotros built a lot of skills grooming into that, together with sort of built a universal program, that’s similar a 10-session computer program that nosotros implement inward the schools for adolescent girls.
[24:19]
Jonathan Singer: What’s that computer program called?
Craig LeCroy: That’s called the “Empowering Adolescent Girls” program. And a duet years agone nosotros worked on that. We receive got a majority that nosotros published alongside W.W. Norton that’s called “Empowering Adolescent Girls” together with it outlines the program, together with it’s real prescriptive so it has all of the curriculum inward at that topographic point that says what are the step-by-step procedure to implement this program. And nosotros constitute some goodness preliminary outcomes from that computer program equally well.
[24:48]
Jonathan Singer: So it sounds similar if somebody’s listening to this podcast, thinking, “Wow, it sounds similar a genuinely goodness affair to implement inward the schools that I piece of work in,” or “I’d similar to know to a greater extent than virtually this,” they could travel to the majority equally a means of learning to a greater extent than virtually skills training, Social Skills Training specifically.
Craig LeCroy: Exactly, because 1 of the things I’ve e'er been interested inward is trying to specify together with manualize treatment. And so inward this book, it’s a real prescriptive program. And nosotros tried to travel far so that yous could literally alternative upwardly the majority together with implement the program. And lots of people have been able to produce that pretty successfully, from what we’ve heard.
[25:29]
Jonathan Singer: That’s great. And I know that yous receive got a chapter inward the majority that yous edited on handling manuals for children together with adolescents on Social Skills Training. And that’s something I genuinely used inward a aeroplane I taught a number of years agone for students on how to think virtually working on something over time. Because I think that 1 of the challenges inward Social Work Education is that nosotros instruct that there’s a beginning, a middle, together with an end; but we’re pretty fuzzy virtually what that looks like. So the handling manual that yous wrote on Social Skills Training for kids was a genuinely first-class instance together with I genuinely think it made it easier for the students to acquire an thought of what precisely they should do, when, fifty-fifty if it would hold upwardly hard to receive got it piece of work precisely similar that inward a real-world province of affairs every time.
Craig LeCroy: Yeah, exactly, I think it’s genuinely of import to specify, together with it gives students together with practitioners a goodness position to start. It’s non e'er the halt of the road, but it’s similar -- here’s precisely what I could produce to instruct this specific science inward this situation. Here are the steps; here’s how I would organize this group.
[26:43]
Jonathan Singer: So we’ve sort of talked virtually a duet of resources for folks, only inward the concluding duet of minutes. There’s your handbook of handling manuals for children together with adolescents, the majority that yous did through Norton. Are at that topographic point other resources for folks who are listening to this podcast together with saying, “I’d similar to know to a greater extent than virtually how to acquire virtually Social Skills Training, or programs or things similar that?
Craig LeCroy: Yeah, at that topographic point are. And I tin ship yous an additional listing that yous tin link. But 1 additional affair I wanted to call is at that topographic point is 1 publishing companionship called Research Press and for years they’ve been real involved inward creating books that were extremely practitioner-friendly, that specified how to implement dissimilar strategies, together with many of them were very, real skill-oriented. Some people powerfulness hold upwardly familiar, for example, alongside Goldstein’s majority Skill-Streaming the Adolescent. So yous tin reckon that’s published past times Research Press. In that majority he outlines some real specific skills strategies. And they also expose a majority for working alongside juvenile offenders that, again, is real detailed, prescriptive sort of majority – precisely the sort of majority that practitioners beloved because it spells out, stride to step, how to implement treatment. So yeah, I think people would taste looking at that.
[28:02]
Jonathan Singer: Well Craig, thank yous so much for existence hither together with talking alongside us today virtually Social Skills Training for children together with adolescents.
Craig LeCroy: Great, thank yous for having me.
