| सार: | Currently, there are 361 Postsecondary Education Programs (PSE) across the U.S. that give individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) the opportunity of pursuing postsecondary education (Think College, 2025). Many of these programs are housed within institutions of higher education that require and encourage students to have internet access and use technology for academics, communication, and socialization. This dissertation includes three manuscripts. The first manuscript is a scoping review based on selected 24 articles that discussed teaching personal safety, online safety, and cyberbullying prevention skills. The data collected from the articles was organized into four emerging themes: cyberbullying, privacy of information, social skills for safe online interactions, and responsible use of the internet. Only a few of the articles focused on individuals with disabilities. The second manuscript is a national survey that was sent to coordinators of PSE programs to learn about their student engagement in risky online behaviors as well as the instructional practices of the program in regards to personal online safety. The results were based on data from 42 respondents. Findings indicate that about forty percent of students with IDD attending PSE programs have engaged in risky online behaviors related to sharing personal private information online, sending money or financial information to strangers, and sending or receiving sexually explicit messages or emails. Survey results also discuss PSE program staff perceptions on the increased vulnerability of students with IDD to online victimization. Finally, the third manuscript is a single case research design to teach personal online safety to college students with IDD attending a postsecondary education program. The intervention was based on Behavior Skills Training and focused on teaching students three appropriate ways to respond to messages requesting personal private information. Overall, results indicate that most of the participants showed an increase in appropriate responses after the intervention. As a whole, the three studies point to the need for teaching personal online safety skills and the impact that an online safety intervention can have on students’ behaviors. |
