Send us a text

When I first witnessed the signs of bullying in my own son, the emotional toll was undeniable. It's a conversation no parent wants to have, yet it's one we can't afford to avoid. Join us on the Special Parent Podcast, where we tackle the daunting yet crucial subject of bullying among children with special needs. As we move through the layers of this issue, I'll share not just personal moments but also the crucial signs that could signal your child is a target, the thin line where bullying intersects with harassment, and the profound impact this has on our children's rights and well-being.

This episode is a heartfelt guide brimming with strategies for advocating for the unique challenges our children face. We're not about passive listening; we're here to arm you with actionable steps to create an open dialogue about bullying, to navigate the school system effectively, and to embolden your child through the power of self-advocacy. Expect to leave equipped with knowledge on leveraging IEP meetings, understanding school policies, and even how role-playing can prepare your child to stand firm in the face of adversity. Together, we're building a fortified community that upholds the values of love, compassion, and collective strength needed to protect and empower our special needs children against bullying.
