This is Eric in Chicago, I haven't commented in awhile but I still listen faithfully to the podcast and seems to find equal parts enjoyment and information. So thanks for keeping it going.
On another note. I was thinking about attending the Michigan Middle school conference. I am 50/50 right now. It would be a nice time away learning and hanging with others who do this...so close the deal and talk me into it. :) Is it worth the drive from Chicago? What will I get from it?
Talk with you soon.
Peace. eric

Walk a Mile in Their Shoes
This is a great pdf document that spotlights bullying of special needs students.
Parents should familiarize themselves with the different forms of bullying that a child with special needs may experience:
MANIPULATIVE BULLYING: This form of bullying occurs when a child with special needs is actually being coerced and controlled by another student.
CONDITIONAL FrIENDShIP: This form of bullying occurs when a child thinks that someone is being their friend, but the times of “friendship” are alternated with times of bullying.
ExPLOITATIVE BULLYING: This form of bullying occurs when the features of the child’s condition are used to bully them either by other classmates or via technology and social media networks.
