The 2018 CEC Policy on the Prevention of and Response to Maltreatment established the need, but not the means to inform and support special education professionals knowledge, strategies and resources to prevent and respond to the maltreatment of their students’. This multi-Division grant effort is designed to address this short coming by canvasing the members of collaborating Division, other educational professionals and parents to identify, document, share and collaborate with individuals who are actively and effectively working to prevent and/or respond to the maltreatment of children with disabilities, i.e., “Bright Spots.” The resulting Bright Spot knowledge, strategies and resources will be shared via Web based technologies, (e.g., Web sites, bulletin boards, chat rooms, eblasts, etc.), conference presentations, course syllabi and professional development settings. The resulting knowledge base will provide an initial data base of “what works” to provide students with disabilities, their educators and parents with the knowledge, strategies and resources needed to enhance the safety and success of students with disabilities.
