According to the article,"Special Education Law Blog: Bulling: A Hot Issue in Special Education", disability based bullying seems to be increasing rather than decreasing (Gerl, 2011). When I took a class, Special Education Law, we were told by the professor, that if the person doing the bullying is a special education student and the behavior is caused by the disability, they look at the behavior differently. There is a new government website that provides students, teachers, administrators and others with tools to end the bullying. This website is at: www.stop.bullying.gov/. The website where I got the information about the bullying issue is at: http://specialeducationlawblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/bullying-hot-button-issue-in-special.html.
Another article that links back to this article is: Bullying Among Children and Youth with Disabilities and Special Needs at: http://www.education.com/reference/article/Ref_Bullying_Among/. I plan to take a closer look at this article as well. I want to know as much as I can about the issue of bullying since it is on the rise.
