Bullying: An Increased Risk for Children with a Disability
October is National Bullying Prevention Month
Children who have a physical, sensory, or intellectual disability are at an increased risk of bullying due to stigma, negative traditional beliefs, and misunderstanding by other children. They face an increased risk of violence, teasing, and harassment.
