play a game, and making positive statements for others efforts. According to Brooks
et al. (2016), greater participation in unstructured extracurricular activities predicted
greater social competence.
Affective skills are identifying one's feelings, recognizing the feelings of others,
demonstrating empathy, decoding body language and facial expressions, determining
whether someone is trustworthy(WETA, 2015). Role playing activities may be used to
effectively emphasize the possible effects of verbal interaction and the emotions they
may arouse in others. Situations showing a variety of emotions such as grief, joy, fear,
excitement, may be dramatized and discussed. Video tapes with stop action technique
may be used so that possible consequences and outcomes can be directed.
Cognitive skills are Social perception, making choices, selfmonitoring,
understanding community norms, determining appropriate behavior for different
social situations (WETA, 2015). To help L.D. children improve conversational skills,
teachers and parents should provide feedback. Call attention to negative statements
and require the L.D. child to consider the consequences of those remarks in terms of
the effect on the recipient. The L.D. child may have difficulty in differentiating
positive and negative statements without some assistance and training. If the child
cannot make such discrimination, the teacher and/or parent can model the desired
verbal behavior. Ask the child to repeat the statement and praise him for appropriate
verbalization. Discrimination of verbal behaviors can be enhanced by providing the
use of appropriate reinforces.
