Description
This presentation provides practitioners with ideas and considerations for adapting school climate surveys to be more accessible to students with severe and multiple disabilities. These ideas are drawn from the experiences of the Northern Illinois University Project Prevent and Address Bullying (PPAB) Scholars (supported by the U.S. Department of Education) and lessons learned from developing a school climate survey for a partner middle school.
