Organizational Analysis
Write a 5-7-page paper on a conflict that he or she experienced in an organizational setting.
The submission must be typed, double-spaced, and have uniform 1-inch margins in 12-point Times New Roman font.
The organizational analysis will contain the following sections:
• Background and history that led to the conflict.
• How/why did the conflict escalate?
• How was the conflict resolved?
• What would the student have done differently, based on what he or she has learned in the class?

Organizational BehaviorThe field of organizational behavior ca.docxamit657720
Organizational Behavior
The field of organizational behavior can be organized around three levels: individual level, team level, and organizational level. In other words, some theories focus on factors influencing individual behavior (e.g., personality, motivation). Some theories focus on factors influencing team or group behaviors (e.g., group development, conflict, roles). Still other theories focus on factors that tend to operate at an organizational level (e.g., structure, culture, leadership).
During the course, you have studied a variety of theories and perspectives at all these levels. Which ones seem most meaningful to you?
For your last paper:
Select one theory or perspective that you have studied that seems to be an individual level theme. One that you have studied that seems to be a team level theme. And one that you have studied that seems to be an organizational level theme. Summarize what those theories are and why each pertains to its corresponding level (individual, team, or organization).
Analyze those three theories based on this question: Why do people do what they do in organizations? That is, how do the theories you have selected help explain "organizational behavior?"
What are the challenges, problems, or difficulties in behavior as suggested by each of your theories?
What are the potential strategies and solutions (to the challenges) as suggested by your theories?
How do your three theories seem to fit together? How do they seem to interact with each other? What important lessons can you derive from thinking about the interaction of the theories?

Organizational behavior is the combination of four areas of study—ps.docxamit657720
Organizational behavior is the combination of four areas of study—psychology, social psychology, sociology, and anthropology. While each of these areas involves an examination of people and their interactions, the focuses are quite different:
Psychology studies the mind and how people make decisions.
Social Psychology examines how people work in groups.
Sociology explores how systems work within the organization.
Anthropology examines how culture works within the organization.
Now, assume that you are an organizational consultant and have been asked by a new CEO to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the organization.
Step 2 - Post a Response
Respond to the following.
Of the four areas of study listed above, which would you focus on first?
Make sure to explain why you chose this area, and why it would take precedence over the other areas.

Organizational Communication
“People in this organization don’t talk to one another anymore. Everything is e-mail, e-mail, e-mail. If you are mad at someone, you can just say it and then hide behind your computer.” With these words, Joe expressed his frustrations with Delta General’s operations. Charley echoed his concerns, responding, “I agree, but surely the managing director should be able to improve organizational communication without losing the advantages of e-mail.” As a consultant overhearing this conversation, how do you suggest the managing director respond to Charley’s challenge?

Organizational Culture
Edgar H. Schein

ABSTRACT: The concept of organizational culture has
received increasing attention in recent years both from
academics and practitioners. This article presents the au-
thor's view of how culture shouM be defined and analyzed
if it is to be of use in the field of organizational psychology.
Other concepts are reviewed, a brief history is provided,
and case materials are presented to illustrate how to an-
alyze culture and how to think about culture change.
To write a review article about the concept of organiza-
tional culture poses a dilemma because there is presently
little agreement on what the concept does and should
mean, how it should be observed and measured, how it
relates to more traditional industrial and organizational
psychology theories, and how it should be used in our
efforts to help organizations. The popular use of the con-
cept has further muddied the waters by hanging the label
of"culture" on everything from common behavioral pat-
terns to espoused new corporate values that senior man-
agement wishes to inculcate (e.g., Deal & Kennedy, 1982;
Peters & Waterman, 1982).
Serious students of organizational culture point out
that each culture researcher develops explicit or implicit
paradigms that bias not only the definitions of key con-
cepts but the whole approach to the study of the phe-
nomenon (Barley, Meyer, & Gash, 1988; Martin & Mey-
erson, 1988; Ott, 1989; Smircich & Calas, 1987; Van
Maanen, 1988). One probable reason for this diversity of
approaches is that culture, like role, lies at the intersection
of several social sciences and reflects some of the biases
of eachwspecifically, those of anthropology, sociology,
social psychology, and organizational behavior.
A complete review of the various paradigms and
their implications is far beyond the scope of this article.
Instead I will provide a brief historical overview leading
to the major approaches currently in use and then de-
scribe in greater detail one paradigm, firmly anchored in
social psychology and anthropology, that is somewhat in-
tegrative in that it allows one to position other paradigms
in a common conceptual space.
This line of thinking will push us conceptually into
territory left insufficiently explored by such concepts as
"climate," "norm," and "attitude." Many of the research
methods of industrial/organizational psychology have
weaknesses when applied to the concept of culture. If we
are to take culture seriously, we must first adopt a more
clinical and ethnographic approach to identify clearly the
kinds of dimensions and variables that can usefully lend
themselves to more precise empirical measurement and

hypothesis testing. Though there have been many efforts
to be empirically precise about cultural phenomena, there
is still insufficient linkage of theory wit.
Organizational culture is so ubiquitous that it affects all area.docxamit657720
Organizational culture is so ubiquitous that it affects all areas of group life. Though organizational culture is not always immediately obvious in organizations, its outcomes (e.g., turnover, morale, productivity) can be. Some workplaces require employees to wear business attire whereas others allow employees to dress casually. In some workplaces, formal address is used and in others, people use first names regardless of position. Both examples reflect organizational norms, or “the way we do things around here,” otherwise known as
organizational culture
. Organizational culture may be subtle yet pervasive and may have a profound effect on employee attitudes and behavior.
Organizational culture affects each of the levels of organizational assessment: individual, small group, large group, intergroup, and organization. As an organizational consultant or practitioner, it is beneficial to have a
toolbox
of assessments for organizational evaluation for each of these levels. By assessing organizational culture, practitioners and consultants can then develop evidence-based interventions to address the issues identified by the assessment and evaluation processes.
Consider how the information above may be applied to the Greenvale Correctional Facility case study that follows.
Greenvale Correctional Facility is a large, privately-owned, medium-security prison in the southeastern United States. The prison opened in 1988, and, until recently, it employed 300 security, operational, facilities, maintenance, healthcare, and administrative employees.
The prison’s salary and benefit structure are comparable to other prison systems around the country. However, Greenvale is currently experiencing significant attrition, creating an unsafe and unstable environment, both for the inmates and remaining employees. Staff has reduced from 300 to 210 employees during the last 6 months, and attempts to recruit and hire new staff have been challenging. Online recruitment, employee sourcing, and participation in various job fairs have not created a plentiful base of trained, experienced employment candidates, and efforts to retain existing personnel have been unsuccessful. Exit interview data point to leadership issues, and poor working conditions.
Prison leadership is comprised of Warden Bob Jones, who started at Greenvale when it first opened; Sergeant Dave Lee, the senior-level correctional leader with over 15 years of experience; and Officer Stan Phillips, a correctional manager who joined the leadership team in 2015. All three leaders work collaboratively, but they tend to remain siloed away from the other employees. All of the prison’s communications are
top-down
and authoritative; the leadership team believes this style is necessary given the work environment and inherent risks involved. While the team believes they are fostering a management-by-objectives culture, many employees feel excluded from the process and perceive more of an in-group/out-group m.

Recall – Data Warehouse
▪ To address the drawback of operational database, and a need for decision-
making support data, data warehouse is needed.
▪ A data warehouse is a multi-dimensional view of databases, with
aggregates and pre-computed summaries.
➢ In many ways, it is basically doing aggregates in advance; that is exactly pre-
computation done at the design level, rather than at the query level.
Recall – Data Warehouse
Star Schema
▪ A Star Schema is a design representation of a multi-dimensional view. It is a
data modeling technique used to map multidimensional decision support
data into a relational database.
▪ The reason for the star schema’s development is that existing relational
modeling techniques: ER and normalization, did not yield a database
structure that served the advanced data analysis requirements well.
Star Schema Components
▪ There are Three main components of the Star Schema:
1. Facts
2. Dimensions
3. Attributes
Star Schema Components
1. Facts
Facts are numeric measurements (values) that represent a specific business aspect
or activity.
For example, sales figures are numeric measurements that represent product and/or
service sales.
2. Dimensions
Dimensions are qualifying characteristics that provide additional perspectives to a
given fact.
For example, sales might be viewed from specific dimension(s), such as sales
location, sales period, sales product, etc.
Star Schema Notation
▪ A Sales Star Schema
➢ Fact:
• Sales
➢ Dimensions:
• Time
• Product
• Branch
▪ Notation-wise, the Fact uses a bolder line, to differentiate between Fact
from Dimensions.
Star Schema Notation
▪ A Sales Star Schema
➢ Fact:
• Sales
➢ Dimensions:
• Time
• Product
• Branch
▪ The lines that represent a relationship
between the fact and dimensions can be
straight lines or bended lines.
Star Schema Notation
▪ Using the star schema notation, the
number of dimensions can be unlimited.
▪ If there is more dimensions, then we just
add more dimensions linked to the Fact.

Option A. You are a student at a New York City college in Septe.docxamit657720
Option A. You are a student at a New York City college in September, 1776. Write a letter home. You are asking for money. Work in a reference to what your parents do -- and are they your parents, or is one a step-parent? You could work in a little social history here, perhaps on high mortality rates. To sweeten your request, tell the people at home what's been going on in New York City. Mention two specific events you've witnessed. Finally -- is this a legitimate request? (Is your college still holding classes?) You'll have to cruise the internet for background information; just cite what you use. If you're feeling rather proud of what you've achieved, by the way, I'm giving you a benchmark against which to compare your efforts, a letter of
James Madison (Links to an external site.)
written in 1774.
Option B. This is a rather open question, and, again, you'll be cruising on the internet or using the library's resources. If you use Wikipedia, I ask that you go further; maybe you could consult one of the sources listed in the "reference section" usually included at the end of a Wikipedia article. What I would like you to do is to choose three of the Native American peoples that lived in the Ohio Valley between 1750 and 1850. Tell me who they are, what they have in common with each other, and some of the differences between each. Then, locate one myth told by these people. (You might start
here (Links to an external site.)
on the internet. The library has some material -- rummage! Search for "North American mythology;" I would consider an Iroquois myth as qualifying.) Tell me about the myth, and then tell me what this myth says about the culture of the people who produced it.
Essays are to be turned in as hard copy -- either printed, or hand-written. In either case, if you can manage it, double-space. I don't do a word count, but I expect some development. There should be an introductory paragraph, a body of the essay presenting your argument, with evidence (quotations or particular references are good), and a conclusion.
Grammar matters to me. Avoid sentence fragments; avoid misspellings and dangling modifiers.
If you use a source I haven't provided, then cite it. Don't copy word-for-word from what I provide unless you're using quotation marks; if it's not self-evident, tell me which source you've gotten your quotation from. Plagiarism rates an F.
There are due dates for each essay. Aim to get it in on the due date. I'll accept it up to 2 days later without penalty. Not after that.
You only need to do 3 essays, not all 4!

Organizational change initiatives are a team effort. It is the job of the leadership team to ensure that transition is a success. To do so, the right leaders must be put in place, and each must hold a thorough understanding of their roles and responsibilities.
Examine the
Delta Pacific Case Study
, then analyze the following:
· What are the challenges facing Delta Pacific?
· What change initiative would be most effective to implement within this organization?
· What type of change leaders need to be put in place? (Ex.: Change Lead, Change Managers, Change Analyst, etc.)
· What departments, areas, and stakeholders will each leader be responsible for?
· Where will each change leader be most effective?
· What roles will each change leader need to play at their level of influence?
Leadership Structure Plan
Utilizing the above information, create a
Leadership Structure Plan
that includes the following:
· At least three change leader positions to be put in place for the change initiative.
· Description of each change leader's roles and responsibilities.
· Account of departments they will lead.
· A short description of how each position will effectively aid in the success of the initiative.
Note: When creating your plan, think in terms of a job description and job analysis, and the detail used to specifically identify the roles and responsibilities of each particular job assignment. Â While this particular project does not have a page requirement, keep in mind that a thorough plan should be no less than 3 pages in length. Use headers for each category.
The paper should include an APA formatted cover page and reference page.

Option One—The Odyssey For the first option, focused solely on.docxamit657720
Option One—
The Odyssey
: For the first option, focused solely on Homer’s
Odyssey
, there are a variety of topics to choose from. Keep in mind that the questions under each topic are intended to stimulate your thinking—you are not required to address each and every one:
The Concept of Justice
: In the very first speech in the epic, Zeus claims that “mortals blame the gods. / From us alone, they say, come all their miseries, yes, / but they themselves, with their own reckless ways, / compound their pains beyond their proper share” (I. 37-40). This emphasis on human responsibility recurs throughout the epic, particularly regarding the suitors, yet at other times fate seems fixed. Consider the degree to which humans bring on their own destiny, and the degree to which fate appears to be decreed and unchangeable. In pondering this question, you might consider the function of prophecy, the role of the gods, and the force of human character on the events of the epic. In the world depicted here, how great a scope is allowed for human choice? Closely related to the question of justice is the question of human suffering. To what extent is suffering deserved?
The Wanderings of Odysseus
: Choose just one episode, or two that are related, in the wanderings of Odysseus as he relates them to the Phaeacians in Books IX-XII and consider how that episode relates to the epic as a whole. What important themes, motifs, and/or images are featured? How do they resonate with the larger themes of the epic?
Testing
: The epic is filled with contests, from tests of physical strength in Scheria and Ithaca to Odysseus’ testing of the members of his household, and their testing of him, to name just the most obvious. Why the emphasis on testing? What is being tested, and why?
Women
: Consider the role of women in the epic, whether mortal or divine. For what are they most praised? Most denigrated? You would do well to choose just one woman, or one contrasting pair (Helen and Penelope, for example) as you consider this question.
Fathers and Sons
: The epic begins with the story of Agamemnon and Orestes, and ends with the image of Laertes, Odysseus, and Telemachos fighting side by side; in between the epic is filled with fathers and sons. What appears to be valued in the father-son relationship?
Odysseus
: Consider the man himself—lying trickster or epic hero? A man of reckless daring or formidable self-restraint? Does he change or is his character consistent (or inconsistent!) throughout?
Option Two—Comparative Essay
: This option asks you to compare elements of
The Odyssey
and
Beowulf
. Both are classed as epics, with much in common, yet there are key differences. The choices below ask you to choose one specific element of the epic to focus on.
The Hero
: What is the most important or most interesting difference between Odysseus and Beowulf in terms of their character—who they are as individuals?
The Nature of Their Quests
: Consider the nature of .

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Individualization
IDEAS FOR ACTION:
Select a vocation in which your Individualization talents can be
both used and appreciated, such as
counseling, supervising, teaching, writing human interest
articles, or selling. Your ability to see people
as unique individuals is a special talent.
Become an expert in describing your own strengths and style.
For example, answer questions such
as: What is the best praise you ever received? How often do you
like to check in with your manager?
What is your best method for building relationships? How do
you learn best? Then ask your
colleagues and friends these same questions. Help them plan
their future by starting with their
strengths, then designing a future based on what they do best.
Help others understand that true diversity can be found in the
subtle differences between each
individual — regardless of race, sex, or nationality.
Explain that it is appropriate, just, and effective to treat each
person differently. Those without strong
15. Individualization talents might not see the differences among
individuals and might insist that
individualization is unequal and therefore unfair. You will need
to describe your perspective in detail to
be persuasive.
Figure out what every person on your team does best. Then help
them capitalize on their talents,
skills, and knowledge. You may need to explain your rationale
and your philosophy so people
understand that you have their best interests in mind.
You have an awareness and appreciation of others’ likes and
dislikes and an ability to personalize.
This puts you in a unique position. Use your Individualization
talents to help identify areas where one
size does not fit all.
Make your colleagues and friends aware of each person’s
unique needs. Soon people will look to you
to explain other people’s motivations and actions.
Your presentations and speaking opportunities will be most
engaging when you relate your topic to
the experiences of individuals in the audience. Use your
Individualization talents to gather and share
real-life stories that will make your points much better than
would generic information or theories.
You move comfortably among a broad range of styles and
cultures, and you intuitively personalize
your interactions. Consciously and proactively make full use of
these talents by leading diversity and
community efforts.

18. You may remain skeptical until you see solid proof. Your
skepticism ensures validity, but others may
take it personally. Help others realize that your skepticism is
primarily about data, not people.
Look for patterns in data. See if you can discern a motif,
precedent, or relationship in scores or
numbers. By connecting the dots in the data and inferring a
causal link, you may be able to help
others see these patterns.
Help others understand that your analytical approach will often
require data and other information to
logically back up new ideas that they might suggest.

feel about your work. Don’t assume that others are similarly
wired.
You can be decisive, even when things get dynamic and
distracting. When there is chaos around you,
intentionally display and share the calm and certainty within
you. This will give others comfort and
security.
Set ambitious goals. Don’t hesitate to reach for what others see
as impractical and impossible, but
what you see as merely bold and exciting — and most
importantly — achievable with some heroics
and a little luck. Your Self-Assurance talents can lead to
achievements that you may not have
otherwise even imagined.
You don’t have a great need for direction and support from
others. This could make you particularly
effective in situations that require independent thinking and
action. Recognize and actively contribute
the value of your Self-Assurance talents when confidence and
self-control are crucial.

when the stakes are at their highest. Let others know that when
the game is on the line, you want the

Make a list of the goals, achievements, and qualifications you
crave, and post them where you will
see them every day. Use this list to inspire yourself.
Identify your best moment of recognition or praise. What was it
for? Who gave it to you? Who was the
audience? What do you have to do to recreate that moment?
Unless you also possess dominant Self-Assurance talents, accept
that you might fear failure. Don’t let
this fear prevent you from staking claims to excellence. Instead,
use it to focus on ensuring that your
performance matches your claims.
You might have a natural awareness of what other people think
of you. You may have a specific
audience that you want to like you, and you will do whatever it
takes to win their approval and
applause. Be aware that while reliance on the approval of others
could be problematic, there is
nothing wrong with wanting to be liked or admired by the key
people in your life.

24. this theme fires every day. When I see my three-year-old
buttoning her sweater for the first time and
she buttons it crooked, I feel this powerful urge to walk up and
rebutton the sweater. I have to resist,
of course, because she has to learn, but, boy, it’s really hard.”
Marie T., television producer: “Producing a morning TV
program is a fundamentally clumsy process. If
I didn’t like solving problems, this job would drive me up the
wall. Every day, something serious goes
wrong, and I have to find the problem, fix it, and move on to the
next one. If I can do that well, I feel
rejuvenated. On the other hand, if I go home and a problem
remains unsolved, then I feel the
opposite. I feel defeated.”
INDIVIDUALIZATION SOUNDS LIKE THIS:
Les T., hospitality manager: “Carl is one of our best performers,
but he still has to see me every week.
He just wants a little encouragement and to check in, and he
gets fired up a little bit after that meeting.
Greg doesn’t like to meet very often, so there’s no need for me
to bother him. And when we do meet,
it’s really for me, not for him.”
Marsha D., publishing executive: “Sometimes I would walk out
of my office and — you know how
cartoon characters have those balloons over their head? I would
see these little balloons over
everyone’s head telling me what was in their minds. It sounds
weird, doesn’t it? But it happens all the
time.”
Andrea H., interior designer: “When you ask people what their
style is, they find it hard to describe, so
26. companies are they going for? Are they manufacturing
companies like ours? And how many people
are in their sample? Is it three people, and one of them got a
really good deal, thus driving the overall
average up?’ There are many questions I need to ask to ensure
that their claim is indeed a fact and
not based on one misleading data point.”
Leslie J., school principal: “Many times, there are
inconsistencies in the performance of the same
group of students from one year to the next. It’s the same group
of kids, but their scores are different
year to year. How can this be? Which building are the kids in?
How many of the kids have been
enrolled for a full academic year? Which teachers were they
assigned to, and what teaching styles
were used by those teachers? I just love asking questions …

to other activity when the activity is over. Use an example.
. Behavior: Didactic instruction on specific techniques, role
play and model. (Ex. breathing, countdown). Use your
examples across pictures.
. Consequence: Positive reinforcement of appropriate behaviors
and delivery. Teach the parents what, where, when delivery and
the appropriate behaviors which we reinforcer. Use a preferred
activity contingent to no preferred activity, (first-then) Use
28. examples from your experiences with videos.
. Provide direction for parents in action- responses. Tools for
serious behaviors that arise. Examples (prepare an area at home
as safe place, when the child involve a SIB, and the child can
hurt himself or the family).
. Benefit from stimulus control strategies and control behavior.

Shaping Effective Communication Skills Article
Communication is a vital tool in any society and the ability to
make everything run smoothly depends on the kind of
communication framework that has been put in place. In this
article, the study done by Grover, 2005) on effective
communication skills and the relationship that exists between
communication and therapeutic work. The author emphasizes
on the significance that communication plays in ensuring that
nurses have an easy time in discharging their duties.
The author`s objective in this article is to highlight some of the
key components of communication. The article focuses on what
takes place for the effective communication that’s required at
the occupational health employees, professionals in different
29. settings, and the employers. The primary objective of the author
in this article is to provide an exploration of the key
components of effective communication and the therapeutic
relationships that exist in the working environment.
The author has highlighted some of the key components of
communication in working place. These are such as, listening
ability in which an individual is expected to listen keenly
without interrupting, asking of questions both open-ended and
closed-ended questions, giving clarifications whenever the need
arises, use of paraphrasing to make passage of information
easier and effective, use of facilitators, understanding and
assessing the use of nonverbal and understanding when to
remain silent during a conversation. The author believes that
these are crucial components that must be adhered to for
effective communication to take place at the working place.
Besides that, (Grover, 2005) also identifies some variables that
affect effective communication to take place among employees,
employers, and professionals. These are such as issues of trust
in which some mistrust might make some employees not to be
used in passing some information, hierarchy is also another
factor that makes a variation in the communication, context in
which communication is taking place and the empathy that one
might have over the issue of discussion. These are factors that
are likely to affect the efficiency in communication.
Finally, the author acknowledges that even though an
organization and people can put in place effective and key
components of communication there are also instances when
conflicts might arise. Therefore, the author calls for the ability
to understand each other, means of communication, and the
ability to put into practice to make it easier for communication
to be effectively done. Therefore, this makes it important that
leaders understand effective means of communication in which
he/she can solve the conflict and take disciplinary action.
I agree with the study done by (Grover, 2005) in which he has
highlighted some of the essential components of communication
that also create the relationship required in a working
30. environment. Employees, employers, and the therapeutic
professions must have the key components of communication
that would always ensure that there is effective communication
between the parties. Failure to have a communication plan and
schedule would only result in making the situation worse. For
instance, it times of dealing with conflicts, determining the
disease that a patient suffers from it’s only the use of effective
communication skills that would result in achieving the desired
goals. Therefore, I believe that (Grover, 2005) has captured
some of the essential tools in communication that should always
be adhering to by the professionals.
Parent Training Interventions Article
(Beaudoin, Sébire & Couture, 2019) in their article, Parent
training interventions for toddlers with autism spectrum
disorder they address one of the major challenges that parents
dealing with their children that have been born with Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ASD is a disorder that’s
characterized by having poor social interaction and
communication difficulties for the children that have been
diagnosed with this disease. Therefore, communication and
interaction being a challenge between parents and their children
it becomes difficult to even help such children. However, these
researchers set out to train the parents in effective ways in
which they can communicate with their loved ones. The main
aim of these researchers is to provide an appropriate alternative
for communication and socialization between parents and their
ASD children in the process of developing the children's socio-
communicative skills that are essential in their life.
Besides that, it’s important to note that the research is driven
mainly by two objectives. These are; the use of parents’
interventional methods to create a communication channel
between parents and their children aged below three years
suffering from ASD condition. Secondly, the research also
aimed to establish the impacts that the use of these parent
intervention methods have on the social interaction and
31. communication between parents and the ASD children, the well-
being of the children, development in communication and
interaction, and overall parent-children interaction despite the
children condition.
To achieve their objectives, (Beaudoin, Sébire & Couture, 2019)
used a systematic search method in which they identified
parents and their children below three years of age who are also
diagnosed or suspected to be suffering from ASD condition.
The parents were then trained on the effective ways of ASD-
specific techniques of interacting with their toddlers. The
studies were repeated 15 times with a total number of
approximately 480 children aged below three years being used
in the study.
The article goes further to indicate that the results were
impressive, as most of the parents were able to initiate the
trained techniques in their interactions with their children.
However, the results showed that there were no effective
concluding results on the relation between the wellbeing of the
children, their socio-communicative skills development, and the
overall parent-child interaction as expected.
In this regard, considering the conclusion made from the results
obtained from the research and the objectives of the study the
researchers did not achieve their objectives. This was very vital
research in the quest by researchers to develop an ASD-specific
technique that could be used in improving the overall social life
of the ASD children in society while also improving the well-
being of the parents. However, because of various factors, the
research was not effective enough and the researchers did not
achieve the goals that they targeted.
The authors of this article have also a general perception of the
fact that there are no already established means of interaction
that exists between ASC children and their parents and those
close to them. The authors worked on the research with the
perception that these children have difficulty interacting and
communicating with people. As a result, their research started
from scratch, in which they could have inquired from parents on
32. the most effective ways that they have often used to
communicate with their beloved children.
I agree with these researchers that there is a need to improve the
interaction between parent-child among children affected by
ASD, there is a need to initiate appropriate measure that will
make these children have a normal social life. However, I
disagree with the way they conducted their research on the
matter. They could have at least tried to determine the already
existing measures of communication that parents use to
communicate with their children. It’s from the data obtained
from this research that they could have used to improve the
relationship between parents and their children, parent-child
interaction, and overall wellbeing of the parents in dealing with
their children`s disorder.
Parents` Perception of Autism Article
Autism remains one of the most understudied diseases in the
world. Public awareness about the condition is limited making it
difficult for effective decision making when the need arises. In
this case, the study was done by Quilendrino et al. (2015) in
their article of Parents’ perceptions of autism and their health-
seeking behaviors provides a clear image of the trends of
behaviors about the awareness of the disease. These researchers
researched to determine the relationship that exists between the
perceptions that parents have over autism disease in children
and how they respond to the treatment methods initiated, there
is also the consideration of the myths that parents have always
had over the disease.
Therefore, these researchers set out to conduct this research on
the perceptions that parents have over this condition and the
treatment measures that have been put in place. The main
objective of their study was to describe the parental perceptions
on autism condition and the pattern in health-seeking behaviors
for the condition among the Filipino parents in an urban setting
with the study targeting children of age ranging between 2 years
old to 6 years children.
The article addresses one of the most controversial issues that
33. have been ignored over the years. The public is misinformed on
the issue of autism in society, as a result, to conduct the
majority of the data about the diseases and the perceptions that
parents have over the disease, these authors used various
methods of research to get as much data as possible. For
instance, the study was done in a cross-sectional manner
through various phases. The first phase of data collection was
done through the collection of qualitative data in which key
informant interviews were done and followed with a collection
of data from small groups of parents. In the second phase of
data collection, there was the formation of a questionnaire
which was distributed to 41 parents that had their children
suffering from autism, the parents that were targeted in this
research were those that have children aged between 2 to 6
years.
The results obtained by these researchers in this article show
varying a trend. Parents had various beliefs and understanding
of autism disease. However, with recent advances,
inaccessibility of information parents was beginning to
understand the disease and they acknowledged that at least there
was no relation between the disease and family sins, lineage,
and curses. The results also show that the most common
agreement made by most of the parents was a qualitative
impairment in social interaction by children suffering from
autism. This at least shows that the research was somehow
successful in making parents understand the disease and how it
affects their children.
The authors summed up their research by agreeing that at least
there is a growing understanding of the disease by the parents
and the needs of the children. The myths and earlier beliefs that
parents had over the disease are gradually challenging but there
is still some misunderstanding about the disease. However, the
observable trend on the behaviors of the patients and parents
has provided a clear picture of the perceptions that parents have
always had over the disease and how the trend has changed over
the years.
34. I agree with the research that has been conducted by
(Quilendrino et al. 2015). Autism is one of the diseases that the
general public has little knowledge about it. Over the years
there has been a lot of misinformation about the disease. The
recent studies and easy accessibility to information have been
the major turnaround about the misinformation on the disease
people have been become informed at least there is gradually an
understanding of the disease in minors. I also acknowledge the
methods of research that were used in this research to ensure
that there is an effective collection of data that provides a clear
picture of what’s taking place in society.
Training Parents to Manage ASD Children Article
Children affected with autism spectrum disorder usually face a
rough time in interacting and communicating with other people
in society. The study done by (Ingersoll& Dvortcsak, 2006)
shows that there is a need for the training to be offered to the
parents by the teachers so that they can have an easy
understanding of how to relate and communicate with their
children. The social life aspect is one of the vital aspects of any
individual and missing such aspects in one`s life is likely to
cause severe challenges later in life. Therefore, these
researchers conducted their research with the emphasis on the
need to train parents on how to communicate and have a perfect
parent-child interaction.
The author thus advocates for the use of various methods to
train parents on how they can interact and communicate with
their children. One of the most effective ways of training
parents is the naturalistic interventional methods in which
young children suffering from autism are taught the language of
communication, use of gestures and some essential ways in
which they can always pass information thus making it effective
in the interaction between parents and children suffering from
autism disorder. The study by (Ingersoll& Dvortcsak, 2006) also
shows that the use of the naturalistic approach comes with
various benefits for the suffering children and their parents. The
method allows easier communication to take place with the peer
35. interactions being made possible, improved play skills among
these children. The method also leads to improved
generalization, maintenance, and use of skills as compared to
most of the structured learning skills.
Besides that, there is also the use of the developmental, social
pragmatic approaches to train the parents on the way to develop
their child's socio-communicative skills. The DSA methods are
usually not as productive as it’s the case for the naturalistic
approach. The method has traits such as following the interests
of the child, the environment is set in a way that’s possible to
encourage the young ones to learn, the communicative attempts
all that are used in communication are usually responded as
meaningful reasons of communication and finally, the language
used is simple to make the child learn.
The article also highlights instances when the methods of
training might be combined to ensure that the learning of the
child is made efficient. The author advocates for the trainers to
use all possible means to ensure that there is effective learning
by the parents so that there can be improved interaction between
parent-child, the parents can be well and satisfied with the
development of their young ones especially those suffering from
autism spectrum disorder.
The training program that the authors' advocate involves the use
of two phases. The phase is the personal and individual training
in which the parent has to self-train on the best ways in which
he/she communicates with their loved one. The second program
entails the use of teachers, the professionals to train parents so
that they can always understand the most appropriate ways in
which they can relate with their children and improve the
interaction and socio-communicative skills that these children
highly require.
I believe that the authors of this article have captured some of
the essential tools required in the management of autism
disorder in society. The authors have provided various
approaches of training parents that if put into practice have
proven essential in improving parent-child interaction,
36. communication with the peers, and overall socio-communicative
skills of the ASD children in the community. Therefore, I
believe that this is an essential source that can be used in any
research due to the effective approaches that have been used in
the study.
