Abstract
Bullying is prevalent amongst all students, but especially in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Previous research has shown that individuals with ASD or other developmental disabilities report being bullied more than individuals without disabilities. However, there has not been much previous research on how to teach these individuals to respond to bullying. This study's purpose was to use behavioral skills training (BST), an evidence-based practice in applied behavior analysis (ABA), to teach adolescents with ASD how to respond to bullying. The results of this study showed that the participants learned how to respond to bullying using BST in scenarios presented by the main experimenter.
