Advisor perceptions of and responses to the social and emotional needs of college students with learning disabilities (LDs) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) are studied. Through a mixed-method approach of surveys and focus groups, four themes emerged: social-emotional issues that students present in the advising relationship; advisor challenges and responses to presenting issues; sources of advisor support; and monitoring of student medication. Data support a revised and expanded developmental advising model that includes the complex layering of social and emotional challenges that face students with LDs or AD/HD and the factors that keep this complex domain in balance with academic and career exploration. The revised model may also be useful for advisors whose students have any social or emotional challenges.

The search for intervention programs aimed at empowering both children and their parents has included a focus on the introduction of computers to the home environment and on parental determination to extend the advantages and benefits of technology to promote their children's academic performance and emotional growth. Using a dynamic and individualistic approach based on observations and research, a home-computing model considers parents' often controversial tendencies related to their child's education. On one hand, parents would like to be more involved in their children's education, but, on the other hand, they have difficulty staying involved as a result of stress related to their child with disabilities, lowered sense of coherence and overload of caring duties. Two suggested strategies are viewed as representing a continuum of parent-child interactions: Creating a supportive climate for home computing and parental tutoring. The social-emotional perspective of children with learning disabilities is discussed as it relates to empowering both parents and children and to promoting their coping strategies by providing opportunities for enabling technology-related experiences.

Abstract The stereotype of people with autism as unresponsive or uninterested in other people was prominent in the 1980s. However, this view of autism has steadily given way to recognition of important individual differences in the social-emotional development of affected people and a more precise understanding of the possible role social motivation has in their early development.

Educators and educational support staff are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of systematic efforts to support students’ social and emotional growth. Logically, the success of social-emotional learning programs depends upon the ability of educators to assess student’s ability to process and utilize social-emotional information and use data to guide programmatic revisions. Therefore, the purpose of the current examination was to provide evidence of the structural validity of the Social-Emotional Learning Scale (SELS), a freely available measure of social-emotional learning, within Grades 6 to 12. Students ( N = 289, 48% female, 43.35% male, 61% Caucasian) completed the SELS and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analyses of the SELS failed to support a multidimensional factor structure identified in prior investigations. The results of an exploratory factor analysis suggest a reduced 16-item version of the SELS captures a unidimensional social-emotional construct. Furthermore, our results provide evidence of the internal consistency and concurrent validity of the reduced-length version of the instrument. Our discussion highlights the implications of the findings to social and emotional learning educational efforts and promoting evidence-based practice.

The mother child relationship can help or hinder the social, emotional and intellectual development of the infant. Research has shown that the interaction between mother and child can affect the child’s cognitive development. Research has shown that mothers from the lower socio-economic groups do not stimulate their babies optimally and that this may affect the children negatively. In this study 86 underprivileged mothers from two different cultural backgrounds were asked to describe the ways in which they kept their infants occupied during the first year of their infants’ lives. The differences between the two groups are discussed and recommendations are made.
