Let's talk about feelings
CDC (2019) defines bullying as any unwanted aggressive behavior(s) by another youth or group of youths, who are not siblings or current dating partners that involves an observed or perceived power imbalance and is repeated multiple times or is highly likely to be repeated. Bullying may inflict harm or distress on the targeted youth including physical, psychological, social, or educational harm. Children with hearing loss are susceptible to bullying. University of Texas at Dallas study (Warner-Czyz , 2018) reported approximately 50 percent of adolescents with hearing loss report “getting picked on” in the past year. More than 25% of adolescents with hearing loss have felt “left out” of social events. How do we get children to start talking about these sensitive issues in the clinic and at home? How do we as providers support children with hearing loss who are dealing with bullying issues? Children with hearing loss are at risk for experiencing social difficulties. It can be difficult for children to articulate those difficulties to parents or teachers. The Children’s Peer Relationship Scale (Anderson & Arnoldi , 2011) is an eight question survey that asks simple questions about feelings toward school and friends at school. The survey is easy to administer as well as easy for the elementary age students to complete. This presentation will discuss bullying, including signs to look for and types of bullying. It will discuss the use of the Children’s Peer Relationship Scale as a clinical tool. Study results will also be shared that compare scale responses from children who are DHH and children with normal hearing as well as parents’ feedback on the use of the scale.
