New Program: Young Adult Social Strategy Group

The Social Strategy Group is a ten week program designed for young adults (ages 18 to 22 years) with a variety of social challenges such as establishing friendships, reading nonverbal cues, conversing with others, and overcoming obstacles to dating.  The group is appropriate for those individuals with autism spectrum disorder, nonverbal learning disability, and social anxiety. 

 

What's Happening:

Dr. Leslie Rescorla, CSI Director, recently presented her research on parent-adolescent cross-informant agreement and parent-teacher cross-informant agreement at the Biennial Conference of the Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) in Seattle. Her research involves international comparisons of cross-informant agreement patterns in more than 20 countries. Among the striking findings is that, in all 25 societies studied, parents failed to corroborate adolescents' self-reports of high behavioral-emotional problem scores in about 50% of cases and, correspondingly, adolescents failed to corroborate parental reports of adolescents' high behavioral-emotional problem scores in about 50% of cases.  

 

Dr. Elna Yadin is training and consulting the therapeutic team of the Military Services Mission Resiliency Programs at Laurel Ridge, an inpatient treatment center in San Antonio, Texas on Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD.  This evidence-based treatment program is designed to address the symptoms of PTSD in relation to traumatic events and military-specific issues in military personnel and returning OIF/OEF service members.
