ABSTRACT
Bullying is a serious and widespread issue that plagues schools across the nation. This is particularly true among children with disabilities who are bullied at statistically higher rates and are at an increased risk of being targeted when compared to their peers without disabilities. Despite the severity of this issue, effective counseling interventions and strategies for empowering this population are lacking. To address this gap, this article will introduce an experiential group activity that promotes self-efficacy, self-determination, and social skills among children with disabilities who experience bullying at school. Considerations and limitations of this activity are discussed.
