Bullying was once a silent epidemic which was endured by millions of children on a daily basis. Today, bullying in schools is being recognized as a public safety issue. Due to their vulnerability, students with disabilities require written goals and direct instruction for addressing a bullying incident.

In this webinar, Dr. Lori Ernsperger provide up-to-date research and specific evidence-based interventions in order for all school professionals to create a safe educational environment and follow the legal requirements set out by the federal government on bullying and disability-based harassment. This webinar will provide immediate and effective interventions to prevent bullying that can be implemented across grade levels and settings.
Topics covered include:
• Recognize the prevalence rate of bullying for students with special needs
• Recognize the long term impact of bullying
• Respond with school-wide interventions
• Emphasize bystander education programs
• Teach all staff to intervene to bullying incidents
• Teach appropriate social communication skills
• Review Federal and State laws for identifying and reporting disability-based harassment
This webinar will be useful for both general and special education teachers who work with children with special needs. In addition, school administrators and special education supervisors who provide staff training will benefit from the presentation.

They are trained in multi-media best practices for sexual health education, and the content they create is shared on TeenSource.org, CFHC's online hub for sexual and reproductive health education and resources. Hear peer educators share their authentic experiences, from becoming skilled digital storytellers, to the positive impact the program has had through reaching youth with vital information and on their own sexual and reproductive health knowledge and behaviors.
