YouTube PSA Alert! -Special Needs/Bullying & the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD)


UPDATE 12-3-11: The video I hyped below has since been made private. Have no idea why and unable to find a public viewing of it. So sorry. If that changes again soon, I will repost. Well worth being viewed by all.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this PSA about bullying and kids with special needs from the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), a terrific resource which, according to its website, promotes equal opportunity, economic recovery, independent living and political participation for people with disabilities.

Too often we discuss bullying without mentioning how many kids with disabilities face this inexcusable behavior on a daily basis.

Speak up, loudly, and then pass this on.

Thanks for sharing our PSA. We hope that it will get out to a broad audience and get people talking about the problem of bullying.

The link you used is an older version, and so is now a dead link. Your readers can find the new one at www.aapd.com/30seconds or at

Thanks for all you do.
