This program is not in New York State, but it's pretty cool. It's an online role-playing course that lets teachers rehearse a conversation with a possible child abuse victim. It's at http://www.hownottotalk.com/abuse. Teachers often make critical mistakes in these conversations. There's a free trial version (120+ pages) and a CEU-credit version. It helps the mandated reporter who might see signs of child abuse, but isn't sure how to handle the conversation with a student. Hope this is useful to you!
