dc.description.abstract | Through ethnographic research at a school for visually impaired, multi-handicapped
students. I focused on group therapy and peer interaction. Would
group therapy and structured peer interaction be beneficial to the treatment plans
of students whose con1munication abilities are impaired? What forms of group
therapy and structured peer interaction are currently utilized? Where do group
therapy and structured peer interaction fit into the current programming? What
are the advantages of group therapy and structured peer interaction? What
changes might be made to existing group therapy and structured peer interaction
to maximize benefits for the students?
First, a review of current literature provides background on the subject by
discussing previous experiments and studies whose subjects belonged to related or
otherwise relevant populations. such as older cognitively in1paired or autistic
populations. This section also gives background to the specific patterns of social
and behavioral differences experiences by individuals who have been diagnosed
with certain disorders relevant to the ethnographic data. An ethnographic review
gives examples of interactions that provide information in response to the aforementioned questions. The current School program is scrutinized in search of
more efficient or appropriate ways it might use group therapy. Then Discussion
poses possible problems and solutions. | en_US |
