Seminar: Bullying: Practical Solutions for Eradicating Bullying for Individuals with Autism
“I am sorry,” says the bully. Whether they mean it or not, the damage has been done and can be long lasting; similar to the effect of crumpling up a piece of paper. No matter how hard we try, the paper retains creases caused by the crumpling… as do those who are bullied remember the events – often for a lifetime. Participants will learn how to identify and eradicate bullying on the individual, classroom, and school-wide levels.
