Using a Team Approach to Address Bullying of Students with Asperger's Syndrome in Activity-based Settings

Determinants and challenges in physical activity participation in families with children with high functioning autism spectrum disorders from a family systems perspective

“…Montes and Halterman (2007) indicate in their research that the prevalence of bullying behaviors in children with ASD (where children with ASD were either the bully or the victim) was 44.2%, which is significantly higher than in the general population (31.7%) (US Department of Education, 2011). Bullying against children with ASD in physical education settings were also reported in the literature (Garcia Biggs, Simpson, & Gaus, 2010;Healy, Msetfi, [ 1 6 _ T D $ D I F F ] & Gallagher, 2013).

Habilidades sociais e bullying: uma revisão sistemática

“…Houve uma forte correlação entre baixo desempenho na educação física e duração da vitimização (p<0,007) e baixo desempenho na educação física e frequência de ser intimidado (p<0,008) (Bejerot et al, 2011). O estudo teórico de Biggs et al (2010) refere que os indivíduos com quadro de Síndrome de Asperger (AS) apresentam pobres habilidades sociais e motoras e que normalmente são vítimas de bullying. Além disso, apresentam prejuízos em termos de autoestima, depressão, ansiedade e evasão escolar.…”

“…É possível encontrar publicações em diferentes temas ou áreas, como: educação escolar, inteligências múltiplas, comunicação, práticas parentais de crianças com problemas de comportamento, assertividade, crenças, identidade social e tratamento de transtorno obsessivo-compulsivo (Bolsoni-Silva et al, 2006). Estudos mais recentes sobre avaliação de habilidades sociais que relacionam assuntos diversos, tais como programas de intervenção, validação de escalas, deficiência intelectual, autismo e síndromes relacionadas, Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperati-vidade também estão sendo desenvolvidos (Biggs et al, 2010;Del Prette e Del Prette, 2009;Vila e Del Prette, 2009;Bandeira et al, 2009;Reiter e Lapidot-Lafler, 2007;Wiener e Mak, 2009).…”
