Objective: The present study examined the effect of a conflict resolution teaching program on the social competencies of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Method: In this controlled quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design and follow up, a sample of 21 students with ADHD was selected from among students of the 5^th and 6^th grades of elementary schools (11 and 12 years of age) in Tehran, Iran, through multistage random sampling and then randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Child Symptom Inventory-4 (CSI-4, parent checklist) and Felner’s Social Competence Inventory were used for the diagnosis of ADHD and assessment of social competencies, respectively. A conflict resolution program was implemented for the experimental group for 12 sessions (60 minutes each, twice a week). Results: Variance Analysis showed a significant difference in social competency and its components (cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and motivational) between the experimental and control groups. Conclusion: Research findings showed that the conflict resolution program increases the social competencies of children with ADHD.

Objective: The purpose of the present research was to investigate the effectiveness of the stress inoculation training on the social competency of individuals with cerebral palsy in Tehran, Iran. Method: The present research was a controlled quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design. The population consisted of adolescents with cerebral palsy aged 16-18 years in Tehran. Thirty subjects belonging to families with a middle socio-economic status were selected by convenience sampling of Sorush school and randomly divided into two groups (experimental and control), each consisting of 15 adolescents. The experimental group received the stress inoculation training in 10 sessions, while the control group received no treatment. The instrument in this study was the Social Competency Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) in SPSS 22. Results: The results revealed that there was a significant increase in the mean social competency scores of the experimental group post-intervention in comparison with the control group (p<0.001). Conclusion: The stress inoculation training led to improvements in the social competency of individuals with cerebral palsy. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to variables such as social competency and plan for the provision of stress inoculation training.
