Hi Im Kate, the proud single mother of a special needs child named Elijah. He is an amazing first grader, who is disabled educationally .  Due to this fact the sad reality is that he is an easy target for bully. How do i know, well its because he is being emotionally and physically bullied at the hands of his classmates.  Just two weeks ago my son was attacked on his bus first by the traditional name calling but it then escalated to having his face smashed into the bus window. Later on in the week the same bully left a bruise on my sons wrist and lower abs as a result of hitting him. I have gone to the board of education for help and support and they will be leading and investigation into  the matter.
