Bullying and Autism: Practical Resources for Families
AO/GR 2012 Conference. Leslie Phillips.
Children with autism are particularly vulnerable to being bullied due to differences in communication, motor skills and social cognition. While it’s important to help students with autism learn how to deal with bullies, successful practices create environments of respect throughout schools and include peers, teachers and administrators. This session offers practical advice to help advocates combat this serious social problem.
