This talk also cov- ers techniques in social skills training in- cluding anger management for children.

caregiver to help
increase their self-esteem.
2. To increase parental involvement in helping their children with reading and writing difficulties.
Activity 1: Fluency Training Participants will be introduced to a series of worksheets and activities that will enhance their writing and motor skills. The effects of fluency training can be observed immediately which will further help boost their self- esteem. The primary aim of this module is to help participants be aware of their improvement level, and to increase their motivation and confidence in approaching a certain task. Another aim is for the parents to see for themselves their child’s ability to improve within a short span, and thus be encouraged to ensure its conitnuity in the home.
