Section I: Awareness
Restorative
SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION
People exceptionally talented in the Restorative theme are adept
at dealing with problems. They are
good at figuring out what is wrong and resolving it.
YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS
What makes you stand out?
It’s very likely that you characteristically notice how people are
distinct from one another. These
insights automatically prompt you to find ways to work better
with them. You are apt to discover how
you can partner with others in the group. Because of your
strengths, you identify skill deficiencies,
knowledge gaps, or performance shortcomings. These usually
capture your attention. Having
discovered these problems, you are determined to conquer them.
You probably say you can do
anything you decide to do as long as you apply yourself. By
nature, you traditionally figure out what
you need to do better by evaluating data, evidence, or facts.
Driven by your talents, you usually have
more innovative ideas or original suggestions than others in the
group. You are delighted to
participate in forums where you can present your creative
concepts. Others are likely to share your
desire to improve things. This explains why many individuals
welcome your suggestions. Chances are
good that you wage an ongoing battle to enhance your ability to
stick with a task for an extended
period of time. You frequently wish you were more single-
minded and less prone to distractions.
Interruptions can pull you way off course. You probably are
determined to overcome these problems.
This explains why you continually search for and test methods
to increase the amount of time you can
concentrate on one thing.
QUESTIONS
1. As you read your personalized strengths insights, what
words, phrases, or lines stand out to you?
2. Out of all the talents in this insight, what would you like for
others to see most in you?
Depending on the order of your themes and how you responded
to the assessment, some of your themes may share identical
insight statements. If this occurs,
the lower ranked theme will not display insight statements to
avoid duplication on your report.

examine the factors leading up to an event. Therein you
discover the reasons why things happened
the way they did. A number of individuals and/or groups
probably appreciate your logical thinking
style. Chances are good that you frequently promise yourself to
do something better than you did it
the last time. As you examine the consequences of your words
and deeds, you usually recognize
ways you could perform a similar task or problem the next time
with a higher degree of knowledge or
skill. Simply put: You are determined to gain insights from your
mistakes so you do not repeat them.

Chances are good that you can prepare people to encounter
danger, bear pain, or withstand
adversity. You fortify others so they grow stronger.

unintelligible or complex ideas, plans, procedures, or
regulations easy to understand. Driven by your
talents, you routinely make the complicated very easy to
understand. You are attracted to the basics
of an idea, process, regulation, theory, or program. While you
know every intricate piece of

Section II: Application
Restorative
IDEAS FOR ACTION:
Seek roles in which you are paid to solve problems or in which
your success depends on your ability
to restore and resolve. You might particularly enjoy roles in
medicine, consulting, computer
programming, or customer service.
Don’t be afraid to let others know that you enjoy fixing
problems. It comes naturally to you, but many
people shy away from problems. You can help.
Give yourself a break. Your Restorative talents might lead you
to be overly self-critical. Try to redirect
this either toward things about yourself that can be fixed, such
as knowledge or skill deficits, or toward
external, tangible problems.
Let other people solve their own problems. You might want to
rush in and solve things for them, but by
doing that, you might hinder their learning. Watch out for this,
particularly if you are in a manager,
coach, teacher, or parent role.
Turnaround situations activate your natural forté. Use your
Restorative talents to devise a plan of
attack to revitalize a flagging project, organization, business, or
team.
Leverage your Restorative talents not only to tackle existing
problems, but also to anticipate and
prevent problems before they occur. Share your foresight and
your solutions with others, and you will
prove yourself a valuable partner.
Study your chosen subject closely to become adept at
identifying what causes certain problems to
recur. This sort of expertise will lead you to the solution that
much faster.
Think about ways you can improve your skills and knowledge.
Identify any gaps you have and the
courses you can take to fill them.
Constant improvement is one of your hallmarks. Seek
opportunities to enhance your abilities through
a demanding field, activity, or endeavor that requires
exceptional skill and/or knowledge.
Use your Restorative talents to think of ways to “problem
proof” your work. Identify existing and
potential issues, and design systems or processes to prevent
errors in the future.
QUESTIONS
1. Which of these action items speak to you? Highlight the
actions that you are most likely to take.

2. How will you commit to taking action? Write your own
personalized action item that you will take in
the next 30 days.
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
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.

Your Individualization talents can help you take a different
approach to interpreting data. While others
are looking for similarities, make a point of identifying
distinctiveness. Your interpretations will add a
valuable perspective.
QUESTIONS
1. Which of these action items speak to you? Highlight the
actions that you are most likely to take.
2. How will you commit to taking action? Write your own
personalized action item that you will take in
the next 30 days.
Analytical
IDEAS FOR ACTION:
Choose work in which you are paid to analyze data, find
patterns, or organize ideas. For example, you
might excel in marketing, financial, or medical research or in
database management, editing, or risk
management.
Whatever your role, identify credible sources on which you can
rely. You are at your best when you
have well-researched sources of information and numbers to
support your logic. For example,
determine the most helpful books, websites, or publications that
can serve as references.
Your mind is constantly working and producing insightful
analysis. Are others aware of that? Find the
best way of expressing your thoughts: writing, one-on-one
conversations, group discussions, perhaps
lectures or presentations. Put value to your thoughts by
communicating them.
Make sure that your accumulation and analysis of information
always leads to its application and
implementation. If you don’t do this naturally, find a partner
who pushes you from theory to practice,
from thinking to doing. This person will help ensure that your
analysis doesn’t turn into paralysis.
Take an academic course that will expand your Analytical
talents. Specifically, study people whose
logic you admire.
Volunteer your Analytical talents. You can be particularly
helpful to those who are struggling to
organize large quantities of data or having a hard time bringing
structure to their ideas.
Partner with someone with strong Activator talents. This
person’s impatience will move you more
quickly through the analytical phase into the action phase.

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.
QUESTIONS
1. Which of these action items speak to you? Highlight the
actions that you are most likely to take.
2. How will you commit to taking action? Write your own
personalized action item that you will take in
the next 30 days.
Self-Assurance
IDEAS FOR ACTION:
Look for start-up situations for which no rulebook exists. You
will be at your best when you are asked
to make many decisions.
Seek roles in which you convince people to see your point of
view. Your Self-Assurance talents
(especially when combined with Command or Activator talents)
can be extremely persuasive.
Leadership, sales, legal, or entrepreneurial roles might suit you.
Let your self-confidence show. It can be contagious and will
help the people around you grow.
Realize that sometimes you will find it hard to put your
certainty or intuition into words, possibly
leading others to see you as self-righteous. Explain that your
confidence does not mean that they
should withhold their opinions. It might not seem like it to
them, but you do want to hear their ideas.
Your conviction doesn’t mean that you are unwilling to listen to
them.
Your independent streak can leave you standing alone. If this
happens, make sure you are out in
front, or partner with someone who can help others see how
they can benefit from following you.
Partner with someone with strong Strategic, Deliberative, or
Futuristic talents. This person can help
you assess the goals to which you commit. You need this help
because once you set your sights on a
1252101493 (Okhi Bailey)
© 2000, 2006-2012 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved.
13
goal, you are likely to stay with it until you achieve it.
Your exceptionally hard work and long hours are natural
products of the passion and confidence you
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.
QUESTIONS
1. Which of these action items speak to you? Highlight the
actions that you are most likely to take.
2. How will you commit to taking action? Write your own
personalized action item that you will take in
the next 30 days.
Significance
IDEAS FOR ACTION:
Choose jobs or positions in which you can determine your own
tasks and actions. You will enjoy the
exposure that comes with independence.
Your reputation is important to you, so decide what it should be
and tend to it in the smallest detail.
For example, identify and earn a designation that will add to
your credibility, write an article that will
give you visibility, or volunteer to speak in front of a group
who will admire your achievements.
Share your dreams and goals with your family or closest friends
and colleagues. Their expectations
will keep you reaching.
Stay focused on performance. Your Significance talents will
drive you to claim outstanding goals. Your
1252101493 (Okhi Bailey)
© 2000, 2006-2012 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved.
14
performance had better match those goals, or others might label
you as a big talker.
You will perform best when your performance is visible. Look
for opportunities that put you on center
stage. Stay away from roles that hide you behind the scenes.
Leading crucial teams or significant projects brings out your
best. Your greatest motivation may come
when the stakes are at their highest. Let others know that when
the game is on the line, you want the
ball.
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.

Section III: Achievement
Look for signs of achievement as you read these real quotes
from people who share your top five
themes.
RESTORATIVE SOUNDS LIKE THIS:
Nigel L., software designer: “I have these vivid memories of my
childhood woodworking bench with
hammers and nails and wood. I used to love fixing things and
putting things together and making
everything just so. And now with computer programs, it’s the
same thing. You write the program, and
if it doesn’t work, you have to go back and redo it and fix it
until it works.”
Jan K., internist: “This theme plays in my life in so many ways.
For example, my first love was
surgery. I love trauma, love being in the OR, love sewing. I just
love fixing things in the OR. Then
again, some of my best moments have been sitting at the
bedside of a dying patient, just talking
together. It is incredibly rewarding to watch someone make the
transition from anger to acceptance
about grief, to tie up loose ends with family members, and to
pass with dignity. And then with my kids,
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
1252101493 (Okhi Bailey)
© 2000, 2006-2012 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved.
16
I just ask them, ‘What is your favorite spot in the house?’ And
when I ask that, their faces light up, and
they know just where to take me. From that one spot, I can
begin to piece together the kind of people
they are and what their style is.”
ANALYTICAL SOUNDS LIKE THIS:
Jose G., school system administrator: “I have an innate ability
to see structures, formats, and patterns
before they exist. For instance, when people are talking about
writing a grant proposal, while I’m
listening to them, my brain instinctively processes the type of
grants that are available and how the
discussion fits into the eligibility, right down to the format of
how the information can fit on the grant
form in a clear and convincing way.”
Jack T., human resources executive: “If I make a claim, I need
to know that I can back it up with facts
and logical thinking. For example, if someone says that our
company is not paying as much as other
companies, I always ask, ‘Why do you say that?’ If they say,
‘Well, I saw an ad in the paper that offers
graduates in mechanical engineering five grand more than we
are paying,’ I'll reply by asking, ‘But
where are these graduates going to work? Is their salary based
on geography? What types of
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 …

Control and management of disruptive behaviors
Introduction
. ASD diagnosis synthesized features, (what our family’s needs
to know about our child.)
. Disruptive behaviors and serious behavioral problems in the
context of everyday life with the parents.
Development keys for parent training
. What is causing the disruptive behavior (Based on information
from Functional assessment), Function of behavior. Examples
about functional behavior.
. A-B-C Model (Use a practical example, about your own
experiences on the field).
Antecedent: Prevention strategies
. Antecedent manipulation (Two examples, Functional
communication teaching, across a video, and Momentum
behavioral, video).
. Teach how to recognize that the behavior is predictable and
identifiable (precursor to behavior) (use an example from your
own experiences).
. A timer as visual sign indicate that the children must transition
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
examples from your experiences with videos.
. Provide direction for parents in action- responses. Tools for

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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.

Remember to be not only descriptive (who, what, when, &
where), but importantly, explanatory (the why & how).
Evaluators are assessing your paper based on the specificity of
your response, not generalizations.
Reference Page (example)
Wang, X. H. F., & Howell, J. M. (2010). Exploring the dual-
level effects of transformational leadership on
followers. Journal of Applied Psychology,95(6), 1134.
Note: You will need to acknowledge sources used in your paper,
using APA-formatted in-text citations and references, for
content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
Additionally, your paper needs to be tightly edited in order to
receive a Competent raking in section E of the rubric. As such,
your paper should meet the following criteria:
“Reflects attention to detail, is organized, and focuses on the
main ideas as prescribed in the task or chosen by the candidate.
Terminology is pertinent, is used correctly, and effectively
conveys the intended meaning. Mechanics, usage, and grammar
promote accurate interpretation and understanding”.

All rights reserved. 1 Okhi Bailey SURVEY COMPLETION DATE: 04-28-2020 YOUR TOP 5 THEMES 1. Restorative 2. Individualization 3. Analytical 4. Self-Assurance 5. Significance

SECTION I: AWARENESS A brief Shared Theme Description for each of your top five themes Your Personalized Strengths Insights, which describe what makes you stand out from others with the same theme in their top five Questions for you to answer to increase your awareness of your talents SECTION II: APPLICATION 10 Ideas for Action for each of your top five themes Questions for you to answer to help you apply your talents SECTION III: ACHIEVEMENT Examples of what each of your top five themes "sounds like" -- real quotes from people who also have the theme in their top five Steps for you to take to help you leverage your talents for achievement
  • 3. 1252101493 (Okhi Bailey) © 2000, 2006-2012 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. 3 Section I: Awareness Restorative SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION People exceptionally talented in the Restorative theme are adept at dealing with problems. They are good at figuring out what is wrong and resolving it. YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS What makes you stand out? It’s very likely that you characteristically notice how people are distinct from one another. These insights automatically prompt you to find ways to work better with them. You are apt to discover how you can partner with others in the group. Because of your strengths, you identify skill deficiencies, knowledge gaps, or performance shortcomings. These usually capture your attention. Having discovered these problems, you are determined to conquer them. You probably say you can do anything you decide to do as long as you apply yourself. By nature, you traditionally figure out what you need to do better by evaluating data, evidence, or facts. Driven by your talents, you usually have
  • 4. more innovative ideas or original suggestions than others in the group. You are delighted to participate in forums where you can present your creative concepts. Others are likely to share your desire to improve things. This explains why many individuals welcome your suggestions. Chances are good that you wage an ongoing battle to enhance your ability to stick with a task for an extended period of time. You frequently wish you were more single- minded and less prone to distractions. Interruptions can pull you way off course. You probably are determined to overcome these problems. This explains why you continually search for and test methods to increase the amount of time you can concentrate on one thing. QUESTIONS 1. As you read your personalized strengths insights, what words, phrases, or lines stand out to you? 2. Out of all the talents in this insight, what would you like for others to see most in you? Depending on the order of your themes and how you responded to the assessment, some of your themes may share identical insight statements. If this occurs, the lower ranked theme will not display insight statements to avoid duplication on your report. 1252101493 (Okhi Bailey) © 2000, 2006-2012 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. 4
  • 5. Individualization SHARED THEME DESCRIPTION People exceptionally talented in the Individualization theme are intrigued with the unique qualities of each person. They have a gift for figuring out how different people can work together productively. YOUR PERSONALIZED STRENGTHS INSIGHTS What makes you stand out? Instinctively, you consistently figure out what makes individuals distinct and special. Your natural intuition helps you pinpoint subtle differences between people. You comprehend what someone says and does. You also detect what the person feels. By nature, you probably offer useful suggestions when individuals and groups are deciding what they want to accomplish.

You might particularly enjoy roles in medicine, consulting, computer programming, or customer service. Don’t be afraid to let others know that you enjoy fixing problems. It comes naturally to you, but many people shy away from problems. You can help. Give yourself a break. Your Restorative talents might lead you to be overly self-critical. Try to redirect this either toward things about yourself that can be fixed, such as knowledge or skill deficits, or toward external, tangible problems. Let other people solve their own problems. You might want to rush in and solve things for them, but by doing that, you might hinder their learning. Watch out for this, particularly if you are in a manager, coach, teacher, or parent role. Turnaround situations activate your natural forté. Use your

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.

For example, you might excel in marketing, financial, or medical research or in database management, editing, or risk management. Whatever your role, identify credible sources on which you can rely. You are at your best when you have well-researched sources of information and numbers to support your logic. For example,

RESTORATIVE SOUNDS LIKE THIS: Nigel L., software designer: “I have these vivid memories of my childhood woodworking bench with hammers and nails and wood. I used to love fixing things and putting things together and making everything just so. And now with computer programs, it’s the same thing. You write the program, and if it doesn’t work, you have to go back and redo it and fix it until it works.” Jan K., internist: “This theme plays in my life in so many ways. For example, my first love was surgery. I love trauma, love being in the OR, love sewing. I just love fixing things in the OR. Then again, some of my best moments have been sitting at the bedside of a dying patient, just talking together. It is incredibly rewarding to watch someone make the transition from anger to acceptance about grief, to tie up loose ends with family members, and to pass with dignity. And then with my kids,
  • 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

From that one spot, I can begin to piece together the kind of people they are and what their style is.” ANALYTICAL SOUNDS LIKE THIS: Jose G., school system administrator: “I have an innate ability to see structures, formats, and patterns before they exist. For instance, when people are talking about writing a grant proposal, while I’m listening to them, my brain instinctively processes the type of grants that are available and how the discussion fits into the eligibility, right down to the format of how the information can fit on the grant form in a clear and convincing way.” Jack T., human resources executive: “If I make a claim, I need to know that I can back it up with facts and logical thinking. For example, if someone says that our company is not paying as much as other companies, I always ask, ‘Why do you say that?’ If they say, ‘Well, I saw an ad in the paper that offers graduates in mechanical engineering five grand more than we are paying,’ I'll reply by asking, ‘But where are these graduates going to work? Is their salary based on geography? What types of
  • 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?

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. References Beaudoin, A.
