BUILDING SAFE ONLINE HABITS FORCHILDREN AND TEENS WITH DISABILITIES

How do you balance online independence with safety and supervision?

As students spend more time online for school, socializing, and entertainment, families face new challenges in helping children navigate the digital world safely. This workshop will explore common online risks, including scams, cyberbullying, online predators, and oversharing personal information. Participants will learn practical strategies for teaching digital boundaries, recognizing warning signs, supporting safe social media use, and building online safety skills that match their child’s developmental and communication needs.

American Sign-Language interpreters can be requested on the registration form or by emailing Josh at J.Garay@taconicresources.org. Requests MUST be submitted no later than June *10th.
