 attending to private training and rehabilitation centers in the province of Antalya. In the study, pre-test and post-test were used to test the effectiveness of the assertiveness training program for both the experimental group and the control group. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSS) and the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule (RAS) were applied for data collection. The statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) 18 and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to evaluate the data. After eight sessions of the assertiveness training program, we found that the physically disabled adolescents’ assertiveness levels and self-esteem levels had increased (p<0.05). Although no similar studies have been done in Turkey, our data corresponds to that of the studies in the relevant literature from other nations. Our study was the first of its kind to be performed with physically disabled adolescents in Turkey. In conclusion, we suggest that the physically disabled adolescents should be encouraged to attend assertiveness training programs, and that these programs should be placed on the curricula of the schools and training centers with physically disabled adolescents.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/894.jpg)

Shyness is common among disabled adolescents. Different methods have been proposed to correct this problem. The aim of the study was to evaluate how assertiveness training for physically disabled adolescents affects their self-esteem and assertiveness. The study sample consisted of 60 physically disabled adolescents (evenly divided into experimental and control groups) attending to private training and rehabilitation centers in the province of Antalya. In the study, pre-test and post-test were used to test the effectiveness of the assertiveness training program for both the experimental group and the control group. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSS) and the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule (RAS) were applied for data collection. The statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) 18 and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to evaluate the data. After eight sessions of the assertiveness training program, we found that the physically disabled adolescents’ assertiveness levels and self-esteem levels had increased (p<0.05). Although no similar studies have been done in Turkey, our data corresponds to that of the studies in the relevant literature from other nations. Our study was the first of its kind to be performed with physically disabled adolescents in Turkey. In conclusion, we suggest that the physically disabled adolescents should be encouraged to attend assertiveness training programs, and that these programs should be placed on the curricula of the schools and training centers with physically disabled adolescents.
