Bullying in schools is a problem and public health concern for all students, including children with special needs. This is an issue that crosses disability diagnosis and is intriguing because while some children with disabilities are the victims of bullying, others can be the bullies themselves.This book provides school professionals and parents with data on the prevalence of bullying as well as research-based interventions to stop bullying in schools. Special considerations and strategies are shared for the bully, the bystander, the victim, and families. This resource also provides guidance on assessing needs, collecting data and how to report it, and sustaining bully prevention methods in the classroom and school.

After more than 17 years of experience working with teachers struggling to implement an effective learning program for special needs kids, Dr. Lori Ernsperger decided it was about time someone created a comprehensive resource for practical use in the classroom. She wrote this book as a practical, step-by-step guide to educating students with autism. This much-needed resource unlocks the secrets of six critical teaching elements, including creating an effective classroom environment, curriculum development, instructional strategies, managing problem behaviors, data collection, and building collaborative teams. Perfect for new and veteran teachers, this book enables school personnel to efficiently create and implement an effective educational program for students with autism regardless of their level of experience or training.

This book is a guide to overcoming food aversions and eating challenges, particularly common among children on the autism spectrum. The authors discuss how to implement a comprehensive treatment plan to maintain a balanced diet through coaxing and encouraging problem-eaters to try new foods.
