Reducing Bullying Involvement Through Social and Communication Skill Development
Presenter: Chad A. Rose, Ph.D.
Description: Youth with disabilities are disproportionately involved in bullying, often due to social and communication skill deficits. Therefore, strategies designed to increase socially appropriate skills are a mechanism by which we can reduce bullying in our schools, especially among youth with disabilities. This session will highlight warning signs and risk factors, while providing strategies for reducing bullying that can be applied universally, as well as targeted and individualized strategies designed for specific skill areas.
