Bullying: What Parents Can Do to Protect and Support Their Child

Mean, cruel and/or bullying behavior is a problem in many schools in the United States -- in urban, suburban, and rural areas. And, it can also take place outside of school. Unfortunately, children who have learning disabilities (LD) are especially vulnerable to it.

In support of National Bullying Prevention Month this October, guest expert, Jonathan Cohen, Co-Founder and President of The National School Climate Center (NSCC), will discuss:


Signs that your child may be bullied (or may be bullying others)
Steps parents can take if they suspect their child is being targeted
How parents can work with the school to address the problem
How to help a child cope with verbal, physical, or emotional insults
