Did you know there is a difference between general discipline procedures and discipline procedures for students who have disabilities? Children who have disabilities have specific rights under state and federal laws when it comes to suspensions and school discipline. This webinar will provide an overview of these rights and the process used for discipline and suspensions. Join Jane Gabriele, Esq, from Legal Assistance of Western New York to learn about school suspension and understand your child’s rights related to discipline. Registration is required.
Although commonly used, studies show that suspensions are largely ineffective in addressing challenging behaviors and often hinder academic learning and skill-development. This workshop will inform parents about the requirements districts must follow when suspending students and provide advocacy strategies to support student engagement at school.
If an ASL interpreter is required, please notify webinars@pacer.org at least 48 hours prior to the workshop. We will do our best to accommodate your request. Registration is required.

Healthy relationship boundaries are an important skill. We will explore tips and tools for addressing sexuality with people you work with.
Healthy relationship boundaries are an important skill for us all. We are seeing more and more examples of those who have crossed lines in our culture. Even though people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are sexual beings, just like everyone, they also need the information and skills to navigate these waters and learn what's okay and not okay in various settings.
This webinar will explore tips and tools for addressing sexuality one-on-one with the individuals you work with. We will explore why this topic can be difficult to approach and useful tools that will help you become more comfortable and confident and communicate about this sensitive topic.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss the benefits of providing sexuality education.
Examine activities to teach healthy boundaries, such as different types of relationships, public vs. private, moving from friend to partner, body language, communication, and speaking up.
