DECEMBER SESSION:  Bullying Prevention & Behavior
The topic of bullying prevention and behavior is a do not miss for anyone in education! Today, bullying is a national epidemic causing significant concern for parents and caregivers. Approximately one in three kids are bullied in hallways, classrooms and during school related activities each year. Media reports show widespread examples of victimization suffered by kids of all ages and ability levels. More troubling – students living with autism spectrum disorder are 63 percent more likely to be recipients of bullying behavior than typically developing peers. All children, regardless of ability, deserve to learn in a safe and nurturing environment where positive relationships are cultivated. Kids have a right to feel cared for and protected in school.Tactics and strategies to help children with disabilities and/or autism learn to respond to this barrier to learning and success will be discussed.

Presenter: Pamela Black, Educational Consultant at Trauma Sensitive Education, LLC & former Coordinator of Special Education & Student Support at Kenosha Unified School District.
