Sherri Coronado
"Dynamics of Autism: The Law Enforcement Perspective."
For students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) learning to interact with first responders is critical. It is just as essential for School Resource Officers to have an understanding of Autism and to be prepared to respond effectively and safely to situations involving students on the spectrum.
OSROA is pleased to welcome Corporal Sherri Coronado as a keynote presenter for our 2019 School Safety Conference. Even those with experience working with kids on the spectrum will learn something as Sherri brings her experience as both a law enforcement officer and as the parent of an Autistic child.
Paul Coughlin
"The Real World and Real Solutions to Adolescent Bullying"
Paul Coughlin founded "The Protectors" in 2005 out of personal experience and a unique understanding into a fundamental weakness of existing anti-bullying programs. Unlike traditional efforts that focus on reforming the bully, Paul focuses on the potential strength and rescuing capacity of bystanders. Paul dispels the myths about bullying and will help us to inspire children who bully to employ their power in life-affirming directions instead.
Paul is a Fox News analyst and contributor. He has authored eight books, including the resource, “Raising Bully-Proof Kids,” and his anti-bullying curriculum is used throughout the world. OSROA is excited to welcome Paul to our conference.
More announcements are coming soon...
