Stopping the bullies
by Katy
This past Tuesday, U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan announced new guidance to our nation’s schools to combat bullying. This guidance highlights the protections for students in federal civil rights laws, including those that protect children with autism and other disabilities.
Earlier this year, the Obama administration hosted the first ever National Bullying Summit and launched both the Stop Bullying Now campaign and a national database of effective anti-bullying programs. If your child is being bullied, take this information to his or her school and ask them to implement an anti-bullying program.
