Morton, Hannah E.; Gillis, Jennifer M.; Zale, Emily L.; Brimhall, Kim C.; Romanczyk, Raymond G. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Bullying victimization is a prevalent concern for neurodivergent (e.g., autistic, ADHD) youth. Bullying assessment methods vary widely and there is currently no questionnaire specific to neurodivergent youth. The "Assessment of Bullying Experiences" ("ABE") was created to fill this gap. The "ABE" questionnaire was…

Morton, Hannah E.; Bottini, Summer B.; Pugliesi, Dominique; Romanczyk, Raymond G.; Gillis, Jennifer M. – Contemporary School Psychology, 2021
Bullying is problematic for school-age children and especially for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is commonly defined in research using three themes: intent to harm, repetition, and a power imbalance. Despite encompassing a wide range of behaviors, these themes may not fully align with day-to-day layperson experiences. They also…

Morton, Hannah E.; Gillis, Jennifer M.; Mattson, Richard E.; Romanczyk, Raymond G. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
Children with autism spectrum disorder experience bullying more frequently than their typical peers. Inconsistent definitions for and imprecise measurement of bullying in the literature impede a better understanding of this difference, and multiple types of bullying topographies create additional dimensions for analysis. In this study,…

This study evaluated the impact of EI for…

There are a limited number of assessments available to examine social skills deficits in young children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). The Behavioral Assessment of Social Interactions in Young Children (BASYC) was developed as a direct assessment of social deficits in young children with ASD relative to children without ASD. The BASYC is a…

Callahan, Emily H.; Gillis, Jennifer M.; Romanczyk, Raymond G.; Mattson, Richard E. – Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2011
Many treatment programs for individuals with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) target social skills, and there is growing attention directed toward the development of specific interventions to improve social skills and social interactions in this population (Hestenes & Carroll, 2000; Strain & Hoyson, 2000). However, there are limited tools…

Social Skills versus Skilled Social Behavior: A Problematic Distinction in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Romanczyk, Raymond G.; White, Sara; Gillis, Jennifer M. – Journal of Early and Intensive Behavior Intervention, 2005
The primary core deficit in autism spectrum disorders is social development. While frequently acknowledged as a critical aspect of intervention for improved functioning, research on the specifics of social development and effective models of intervention is not commensurate with the acknowledged importance. We present a model of social competence…
