Achieving
Success
with
Impossible
Children
How
to Win the Battle of Wills
~
by Dave Ziegler, Ph.D.
After
30 years of working with some of society’s
most challenging and troubled children, Dr.
Dave Ziegler believes there are no
impossible children, just impossible
situations.
The programs he has started have
focused on children no one seems to be able
to help, yet the children have achieved
exceptionally positive outcomes.
Using clear and very accessible
language, humor and numerous real-life
anecdotes, he describes how to help
“impossible” children achieve success in
their families and their lives.
Biological, adoptive and foster
parents, therapists, teachers and social
workers will find Achieving Success with
Impossible Children a gold mine of
information and an invaluable reference.

Attachment Disorder Assessment Scale--Revised
(Kit)
Seventeen years in development, the
Attachment Disorder Assessment Scale–Revised
is the most validated instrument available
to measure attachment. It is designed to
consider a wide range of factors in order to
accurately place a child on the continuum of
attachment. The instrument can identify with
great accuracy attachment issues (very
frequent), attachment problems (less
frequent), and a diagnosable Reactive
Attachment Disorder. While most children (as
well as adults) could be said to have some
degree of attachment difficulties, a
diagnosable disorder is very rare in the
general population. The ADAS-R gives an
accurate assessment of the level of
attachment difficulty that a child or
adolescent is experiencing so that an
effective plan of care can be developed.
Used in conjunction with other diagnostic
information, the ADAS-R can be an invaluable
tool to quickly and easily obtain a reliable
level of attachment concern for a young
person. The ADAS-R kit includes a hard
plastic carrier case, 25 protocol
scoresheets, and a 52-page manual that
explains the scale, attachment problems, and
treatment options. Published by Acacia
Publishing, Phoenix, AZ. $49.95 +

Juvenile Sex Offender Risk Assessment Matrix
This assessment instrument is designed to be used
in conjunction with the Inappropriate Sexual Behavior Scale to help determine the level of risk of sexual offending
by adolescents. It is available to professionals who need to make decisions that are influenced by a potential
for future sexual offending behavior. It was developed through clinical experience with adolescents showing sexually
offending behavior. The Matrix yields a quantitative score which can be of predictive value for future behaviors.
Although the instrument has not been psychometrically tested, it has been used for a decade in clinical work and
has shown excellent predictive properties. $3.00
Inappropriate
Sexual Behavior Scale
This
is an assessment instrument available to
professionals and parents to help understand
the problem of sexual behavior of
preadolescent children. Although
sexual behavior may be either normal or
pathological, it is usually problematic in
the setting it comes out. The
instrument is useful in determining what is
normal, what is abusive and what is
reportable behavior to child protective
services. All sexual behavior is not
alike. This instrument measures
behavior on a scale that helps determine the
appropriate response. $1.50
