“…There is literature on the benefits of group treatment for this population, which notes that modifications may be required to address the members' communication difficulties (Brown and Papagno, 1991;Coché and Fisher, 1989;Mishna, 1996aMishna, , 1996bMishna, Kaiman, Little, and Tarshis, 1994;Pickar, 1988).…”

“…Findings show that the emphases on changing anti-social, pro-criminal attitudes and on improving problem-solving strategies are particularly effective with this population (Izzo and Ross, 1990;Ross and Fabiano, 1985). A separate body of literature suggests that children and youth with LD can benefit from group work (Brown and Papagno, 1991;Coché and Fisher, 1989;Mishna, 1996aMishna, , 1996bMishna, Kaiman, Little, and Tarshis, 1994;Pickar, 1988).…”

Despite the high incidence of learning disabilities among young offenders, research suggests that young offenders with learning disabilities do not receive interventions that address their learning disabilities. Group treatment approaches for young offenders typically utilize a cognitive-behavioral orientation. Cognitive behavioral techniques have been found to be effective with the young offender population by targeting their faulty thinking. However, cognitive behavioral treatment is less effective with youth who have academic delays. Individuals with learning disabilities may have difficulties with the cognitive tasks used in cognitive behavioral treatment. This paper describes a treatment group, with illustrations, adapted for young offenders with learning disabilities, combining cognitive-behavioral and mutual-aid principles.
