Hi Julie! It's difficult to get children to stop teasing...about anything! However, I have found that teasing stops, or is reduced, when the disability is talked about in the class openly as just that... a disability! Children need to understand that it isnt right to tease anyone based on any physical attribute, color, size...or disability! That starts with the educator. Teachers need to share basic, fundamental diversity lessons with their students and help them understand all of our differences. Teasing decreases when knowledge increases! Thanks!
