Readers will discover: What research says about bullying against students with disabilitiesHow programs typically fail to serve this populationA roadmap for an inclusive schoolwide programSpecial intervention and coping strategies Start down the road to create an inclusive and tolerant school climate where every student feels safe and valued. "It has long been known that students with disabilities are targets for bullying or exhibiting bullying behavior.

This book provides information on how teachers, paraprofessionals and parents can address bullying with students with disabilities within the schoolwide program to meet the individual needs of the child and create a safer school environment." — Barbara Hayhurst, Special Education Teacher Lakevue Elementary, Nampa, ID "Bullying of students with disabilities is often unaddressed in many schools.
