“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:
Verbal – which is often quick, direct, and sneaky
Physical – which is the easiest to recognize due to direct evidence
Emotional (social) – which is calculated and involves manipulation and gossip
Sexual – which involves a violation of personal boundaries
Cyber – which is using technology to hurt and harm another person.”
