  Case: Bullying
There is one student in a couple of my classes who has ASD and is integrated into a general education classroom. She does not speak with other students, but takes a liking to the teachers. She has some physical habits that are slightly gross to watch, and the students will talk about it around her as well as the teachers will make fun of her too. Whenever I am around this student I have conversation with her and am very kind, but I feel as though she knows what everyone thinks about her. How do I address other adults and students talking about this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If teachers are making fun of this student, that is something to take directly to them and if the situation does not resolve, it is a matter for your superiors. As educators, you must uphold the most professional behavior possible and that is unacceptable. As far as the ASD student's habits, it could be something to note in her IEP and discuss appropriately with parents and other teachers how to best address the habits. Perhaps a lesson on kindness would be beneficial to your other students as well as reminding them about the consequences of bullying in your school.

Comments: I agree that you need to first talk to the teachers about how wrong it is to talk negatively about other students. Then, if it doesn't resolve, talk to superiors. It is also a good idea to address the habits with parents and in the IEP. Finally, it is important that others need to learn kindness as well as consequences for bullying.

Comments: This is great. I believe involving parents and integrating solutions into the IEP will be very beneficial to the student. I think that the fact that other teachers are making fun of the student may be a cause to talk to superiors about the issue.

Comments: I agree with all aspects of this solution. At the IEP meeting, parents and personnel can develop the best approach to deal with the situation. I also would do a lesson on kindness and the "golden rule".
