Notes from ASSEC

“I think the highlight of the conference was Michelle Garcia Winner.  Her perspective on social skills is amazing.  If you ever get a chance to hear her, go!   Check out her website:  Social Thinking:  http://www.socialthinking.com/ .  She has some hidden places to find forms on her site.  If this interests you, please email and I’ll tell you where to find them.  I’ve already started social skills mapping with some kids and am feeling very positive about the process.”  ~ Bobbi Larrivee WHE Intensive Needs

 

There are five types of identified bullying behavior:
bullet-point-image-7 Verbal – which is often quick, direct, and sneaky
bullet-point-image-7 Physical – which is the easiest to recognize due to direct evidence
bullet-point-image-7 Emotional (social) – which is calculated and involves manipulation and gossip
bullet-point-image-7 Sexual – which involves a violation of personal boundaries
bullet-point-image-7 Cyber – which is using technology to hurt and harm another person.”
