Bullying and Harassment of Students with Disabilities: What Parents & Educators Need to Know | PTIC

Описание: Studies show that bullying can negatively affect a child's education. Children with disabilities are two to three times more likely to be bullied ~ 60% of them report being bullied regularly, compared to 25% of the general student population. Join us as we discuss what parents can do when they suspect bullying of their child with a disability.

This video was recorded live on Friday, November 19, 2021, during RIPIN’s 12th Annual Transition to Adulthood Parent Conference for parents of students with disabilities.
