Bullying and Teasing of Youth with Disabilities: Creating Positive School Environments for Effective Inclusion
Bullying, harassment, and teasing within schools are not only practiced by many students, but have historically been allowed, ignored, and even modeled by adults.
Some feel it is a right of passage to normalize it, and researchers have recently wondered whether bullying may serve some purpose for society
Disability harassment is the form of bullying and teasing specifically based on or because of a disability.
Bullying is becoming more common with students who have disabilities. Bullies tend to focus on peers who seem vulnerable, such as those who are passive, anxious, quiet, sensitive, or unusual in some way.
