Bullying Prevention Awareness Month

October is Bullying Prevention Awareness Month. People with disabilities are no less affected by this behavior than those without disabilities; in fact, they're probably more affected by it. Bullying can take the form of verbal, physical, or online attacks, and they can severely affect the victim's self-image, social interactions, and school performance.
