Right To Be is offering this free, one-hour, interactive training will teach you the 5D’s of bystander intervention methodology. We’ll start by talking about the types of stigma that people who learn differently—including those with specific learning disabilities (LD) like dyslexia, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)—face right now using a tool we call the “spectrum of disrespect.” You’ll learn what to look for and the positive impact that bystander intervention has on individuals and communities.

We’ll talk through five strategies for intervention: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct; and what to consider when intervening. We’ll have time at the end for practice, and you’ll leave feeling more confident intervening the next time you see stigma perpetuated around learning differences online or in person.

Eye to Eye is an organization working to unlock greatness in people who learn differently. They are run by and for people who learn differently. The importance of understanding and embracing the intersectional abilities, identities, and individual experiences of the students and communities they serve extends to the workplace and across the board, reinforcing the vision for inclusion and educational equity for all.
