Too many students experience bullying at school, and often families feel powerless when they learn that their student is being bullied. Students with disabilities are more likely to be bullied than their non-disabled peers, and it can have a profound impact on their ability to learn. This workshop will explore the obligations of schools to take immediate action when they learn that bullying is occurring to a student with a disability, and steps you can take to protect your students.
