Is Your Child a Target of Bullying? Intervention Strategies for Parents of Children with Disabilities

Bullying is a serious issue that impacts nearly every school in our nation. It is a behavior that knows no boundaries of class, race, gender, size of school, or age. Students who are bullied may grow angry, resentful, frightened, or apathetic about school.

Parents can help their children with disabilities who are the targets of bullying by developing effective strategies for responding to bullying behavior.

This workshop is designed to introduce and define the 5 types of Bullying and Disability Harassment. We’ll talk about a range of intervention strategies for the child who is the target of bullying that can be used by the parent, the parent and child, and the family and school. It is intended as a general guideline, across all disabilities and age groups, for the development of a plan to address the unique needs of the child.
