| Introduction | PACER became involved in bullying prevention efforts in response to research that indicated students with disabilities are bullied at a significantly higher rate than their peers. While many of PACER's resources have an emphasis on students with disabilities—they are designed to by used by all students—those with disabilities and those without disabilities; those that are bullied, those that witness bullying and those that bully. |
| Interests | I am the parent of a son, David, who was born with Down syndrome. As students with disabilities are bullied at a rate of 2-3 times more than their nondisabled peers, David has been an inspiration to look at the issue and take action that will protect all students. |
