WEC Practical Guide 01 — Bullying & Students with Disabilities

$19.00

WEC Practical Guide 01 — Bullying & Students with Disabilities

Bullying involving a student with a disability can create educational, behavioral, civil-rights, and special-education questions that extend beyond ordinary peer conflict. Bullying & Students with Disabilities gives families and school professionals a structured way to recognize what is happening, document concerns, evaluate educational impact, and determine what response may be needed. The guide distinguishes bullying, peer conflict, harassment, and disability-related concerns; explains when IEP and Section 504 issues may become relevant; and separates the school's conduct response from the educational team's responsibility to review whether the student's needs, services, supports, access, participation, or progress have changed. Practical tools support incident documentation, educational-impact review, family communication, school response, behavior and accountability review, prevention systems, meeting preparation, escalation, and follow-up effectiveness. Federal concepts are presented in practical language while recognizing that state law, district policy, and individual circumstances may differ. *71-page professional digital publication *14 practical documentation, review, response, and follow-up tools *Clear distinction among bullying, conflict, harassment, and disability-related concerns *IEP and Section 504 educational-impact review *Separate guidance for families and school teams *Prevention, documentation, monitoring, escalation, and follow-up frameworks *Federal legal concepts explained in practical language *Instant PDF download for use on computers, tablets, and phones

WEC Practical Guide 08 — How to Conduct a Functional Behavioral Assessment

$29.00

WEC Practical Guide 08 — How to Conduct a Functional Behavioral Assessment

A functional behavioral assessment should be more than a form. It should be a disciplined process for defining behavior precisely, gathering meaningful evidence, identifying patterns, developing a defensible functional hypothesis, and using that hypothesis to design more effective support. How to Conduct a Functional Behavioral Assessment gives school professionals a practical framework for carrying out that process in real educational settings. The guide distinguishes an FBA from informal observation, discipline investigation, behavior screening, and a behavior intervention plan; explains how to select and use direct-observation measures; shows how to analyze antecedents, consequences, setting events, and competing hypotheses; and demonstrates how to write a clear FBA report without overstating what descriptive data can prove. A running fictional case follows Marcus Reed, a seventh-grade student, from the initial concern through operational definitions, records review, interviews, direct observations, ABC analysis, competing hypotheses, the final functional hypothesis, the written FBA, and translation into a function-based BIP framework. The guide includes 27 practitioner tools for planning, interviewing, direct observation, measurement, pattern analysis, hypothesis development, reporting, FBA-to-BIP alignment, and progress monitoring. Legal and professional boundaries are identified throughout so readers can distinguish federal requirements from federal guidance, recognized professional practice, and state or local procedures.
