I am answering some interogatories and one of the questions is do I have special training for counseling sexually abused asian children.  I have to answer no, but is there training(the children are Asian (father vietnamese, mother Cambodian,) but the children are US citizens and speak English, eat American food, have no ties to their culture.  I have not heard of a specialized training for just Asian counseling, if there is such a specialty I think it is made up.  So, if it does exist, where is the school located?

The literature shows that there is consideration/treatment given to special populations under treatment by social workers for problems ranging from drug addiction to sexual abuse.  However, I think that "branded" training or counseling is probably not readily available.  \n\nMy mother, the mental health professional (MSW, LCSW, etc.) tells me (luck she was on messenger just now, eh?) that the American Counseling Association sometimes runs seminars and "institutes" that cover the topic of counseling approaches of "diverse populations" on sexual abuse.  You should be able to find the ACA on the internet.\n\nI think that counseling approaches vary, and your approach has to be tailored to each individual, with their culture representing a strong component in their identity and there a major consideration.\n\nOn a whim, I just ran an internet check on Asian counseling and found a lot of hits including the one below for Seattle. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything for "goat grief."

yes...\n\nbut most school districts don't teach everything, due to cetrant concervitive parents/school boards (or just plain anal/control freaks/parents starerptypes that they're children will repeat the same stuff parinoid parents).\n\nThere are sex eds that do teach a veriety of stuff, such as abstance, safe sex, and other procotions to other types of sex for safe sex.\n\n;-)\n\nWhy are some people still ignorant, well it's up to them to pay attention in class.\n\nParents need to do more (like be open minded), you'd rather have a young person prepared then to fall into something that they haven't been fully educated on. That way you run less of a risk hearing "Mom, I'm pregnant". "Mom/Dad I think I got something (STD)", or the stupid people who become addicted to sex or the werdos who just were deprived of everything logical about it.\n\nYou got to admit that someone can still get an STD even from a simple kiss, skin contact, and of course oral sex, and regular sex. There are safe practices for oral sex, but not all sex  eds teach it so some youth think it's risk free. That's why they should be informed so they can make an informed decision.\n\nBUT yes parents NEED to pick up the slack (and remeber to not assume that they're youth will not experiment, such as have premarital sex, or even have sexual relations with the same sex as them or not... you just can't assume anymore now-a-days so it's just best to teach them everything, half of the most homophobic people I've meet turn out to be denying their own sexuality b/c they have done or are thinking of doing something with the same sex their just to brainwashed to think that might be ok).\n\nNEVER asume.\n\nThe earlyer the better (in education to keep them safe). My BF's little sister is having probs in Middle School... there's even 8 year old for some odd reason trying to have sex... some thing needs to be done and tooken seariously, for one they should at least be told it's unhealthy even more to do it before puberty... this is crazy...\n\n::: Peace :::

Abusing a child for reporting sexual abuse.\n\nWhat kind of message does that send?\n\nHe should have to at least do supervised community service.  Something positive for the community and a learning experience for him.  \n\nFace it, the molester probably won't get much jail time.  It's infuriating, but true.\n\nHe definitely doesn't need to counsel anymore!\n\nIf he is sincere, but horribly misguided, maybe he could be rehabilitated in some way.  Sadly some people are in the ministry who just have no business being there and it's a cover for their maladjustment.\n\n\nThat poor girl!  Personally, I don't think her mother is without fault in this, either.  She probably gave him permission.

Good luck with that!  \n\nEverything I have seen and heard in Psych classes says, no rehab for pedophiles or predators!

I have been accepted by the USMA. I am a female moderate, who happens to be born from parents from different parts of the world. (Guyana & Kuwait). I found, that it is a matter of being qualified. I know of 6 other cadets who are Hispanic, West Indian, Chinese, and Korean, who've entered The Point. I also know that there are many people who come to WP from their just to train and lead their Armies with adequate competence. Media is media...and the lack of diversity is what it apparently transgresses.

Yes- parenting or at least some kind of child development or child psych... combined with a sex ed- at least the part about efectiveness of various kinds of birth control and info about STD's.... like "Abstinance is the only sure way to avoid all STD's, including pregnancy..." or "A 5-yr-old is egocentric. She thinks that her behavior and actions are the cause of everything else happening..." and so on...\n\nAnother answer mentioned homosexuals lack of need for this type of education- if they choose to adopt, aren't they still parents? Aren't they still responsible to love and teach those children?\n\nMany people are placed in a parental role, not always by choice. I don't think anyone can get through life without contact with children- their own offspring, nieces/nephews, grandchildren, the neighbor kids, babysitting, etc. Understanding how kids at different ages think is vital for these relationships.\n\nI am not a parent, but my church has asked that I care for and supervise the little ones while their parents are in their classes. These children are between 18 months and 3 yrs old. I am grateful for what I know about children. Because of my college human development classes, I know what to expect from these kids- behavior, attention span, etc.\n\nNo, the public school system is not very well equiped to, nor should they teach ethics, but they can teach statistics, trends, and the typical development of infants, children and teens.

What you said is damn true and is scary or not?\nI'm a Dutchman who lives in Taiwan and if i see those children here, i feel sorry for them.\nWe in Europe and i think i also can speak for the USA the teacher teach us new things and on the end they do a test to see you understood it or not. Here in Taiwan most teacher teach for the test, because the test have to be good. So kids have to memorize everything for the test. Some teachers even just teach them things what will be on the test and other things not. Sometimes they even show the test in advance, so kids to what to learn. If the kids get a high score parents are happy, teacher gets a good name and the school too. They will never give a 0 points here, only if it's really bad, otherwise the parents here complain the teacher not the kid.\nIt unbelieveable, but they have every week for every subject a test. When i was in highschool, we had a test ones in a while. I don't know about the USA. \n\nIn Europe we see schools as education, in Taiwan it is a business. A kid is just a number and they care more the parents are happy, because they have to pay the money.\n\nIt is not only the school system, it is scary how most parents think and do.

I am an Aspie with two children with Asperger's.  I have to agree that there are a lot of children running around with very negative social skills.  I think that one of the big differences is that children with Asperger's are taught where NT children learn from the environment.  If the parents, teachers, other figures in the child's life are disrespectful then they will pick up on that.  Where I live children are dumped outside for the summer and do not go home until ten to twelve at night.  These children pick up on all the negative behaviors and have no structure or good role models.  My children are not allowed outside unsupervised.  If my children hit, hurt, or aggravate another child I am there to teach him it is wrong.  There is no one there to teach the child who usually started the situation.

I used to torture and maim small animals when I was younger.  I never sought counseling for fear I would be put on a predator list.  What I do when I have my urges is shiite in a bag and breathe deeple for several minutes.  You should try it - it helps me!

Although not a an educator, I can provide a prospective that should proove useful to you.  I'm a "military brat"  I was raised a child of a senior ranking member of the armed forces and we lived in several countries throughout the world.  It wasn't until I entered the tenth grade that I experienced american public school systems.  When I did, I found them to be a huge culture shock.\n\nThe thing that struck me the most was the absolute disregard for authority that American children had (and continue to have, unfortunately) for teachers, principals, ta's, let alone their peers or themselves.  Granted, I was in a much more restrictive environment in the DODDS system or the private school systems that I was privy to.  Depending on the country and/or the political situation, base that we were stationed at, we never knew what dignitaries family we were going to school with, so manners, and diplomacy was always a must.  To step out of line, was taken seriously and handled immediatley.  \n\nWhen I did eventually find myself in an American public school for the first time, I had a really difficult time adjusting.  It was worse than being thrust into any of the foreign countries we'd lived in.  I was not at all prepared socially.  I didn't dress like anyone, speak the lingo, I couldn't "blend" as one does as one can overseas.  My parents moved us to Inglewood, CA!  I recall comming home terrified, and telling my mother, "There are"black people there, real black people" .  She took me too the bathroom stood me in front of the mirror and made me look at myself.  \n\nIt's a bit crazy when I look back on it now, but I did eventually make friends and I did adjust over time.  I have unfortunately not found that American schools are that much better, however.  I now have children and would home school if I could.

I've been going to every question that isn't special ed related and cut-and-pasting the following in the answer:\n\nThis question is miscategorized.\n\nSpecial Education refers to the education and parenting of children with special needs.\n\nI tried reporting the questions as "miscategorized" to Yahoo, but they haven't ever done anything.\n\nI think I've figured out a few of categories for the miscategorized questions.\n\n1) Garble, someone trying to be funny or just messing around.\n2) Someone trying to be offensive (especially the ones with the cruder sexual content).\n3) Kids asking about homework and not really knowing how to post.\n4) Non-English speakers who have been confused by English idiomatic grammar, and who think "special education" means education for specializations (e.g. computers, engineering, etc.).  There seem to be tons of those from India.\n\nMy main question isn't why these are happening (people are, after all, well, people...), but why Yahoo is so understaffed or whatever that they can't keep up with abuse reports so that miscategorized questions are appropriately moved or removed.\n\nI and other "specialist" answer writers have emailed them with suggestions such as...\n\n--If a question is reported as miscategorized by 5 or more different people at a participant level of 5 (or 6) or above, it should be automatically deleted. A Yahoo staffer need only get involved in the question writer appeals the delete.\n--After a person asks a question and selects a category, an additional page comes up showing the person's question, and giving a simple definition for the category, with the prompt "Please review your question and the category you have selected. If you are sure your question fits in this category, please press "continue." If not, please press the back button and select a new category."\n\nAnd so on...seen anything like either of those yet? I don't think so. Sigh.\n\nI would like to call on all serious question and answer writers, who are in this category because they are actually interested in this topic, to cut and paste the above suggestions (just the suggestions, not this whole posting) into a feedback response to Yahoo (see the bottom of your screen...in teeny, tiny letters there's a link that says "Tell us what you think").\n\nMaybe if enough messages come in with the above suggestions, they'll actually do something about the miscategorization problem, and we won't have to go through 20 questions to find 1 that really is of interest to us.

Loveologist, if you live in North America, Central or South America- you are in fact an american.  So get a little more technical when you preach.  Considering that the US economy supports multiple indigenous countries (i.e. remember USA for Africa? Christian Children's Fund? Brought the oppressed Vietnames, Koreans, Filipinos, Indians, etc, to US and they have educations and great jobs.) Anyways, to answer..... yes it is hyprocritical and in fact twisted!!!

When we needed to hire ABA therapists for our son, we contacted Monster.com and used a service of theirs (formerly called JobTrak) to solicit student candidates with some ABA training, child development majors, psychology majors, and/or education majors from various colleges and universities near our home.  We hired about 8 ABA therapists over the three years our son was in therapy (at any given time, he had 4-5 therapists working with him per week) and had success using this method.  Also, if you have a weekly PennySaver or similar free publication that is distributed by mail in your area, we had success with that as well.  \n\nI'm happy to say our son has almost totally recovered from autism, and I wish you the best in your search for ABA therapists.   You may also want to check out these websites:  www.centerforautism.com and www.tacanow.com for further ideas.
