During the past ten years, I have worked with many dyslexic students at a private school in Florida. Many have the stigma of struggling to read as well as the "I'm a target for bullying" stigma. At the beginning of each school term we show staff and teachers a video about the presence of bullying in schools and techniques on how to handle individual situations. There is also a video that we show the students so that they have more courage about letting an adult know when it is happening to them. the video also explains how to posture themselves to present a more self-confident presence as opposed to looking defenseless. If you work in a school, please research the videos and free information on line that you can download. Just type Bullying in schools in the subject line. Help prevent what is happening in every school in the nation as long as it is ignored. It is going on even if you think it is not!
