[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For anyone interested, here is the Introduction from a scholarly article in Science Daily.  No one wants their child to be victimized. It isn’t a contest who gets harassed more than another. The point is to get MCPS to provide the right resources and placements for kids with disabilities. They don’t always do that. 
Bullying rates remain higher for children with disabilities, even as they mature
Schools should refocus efforts to help these children develop social skills to combat bullying in more positive ways

Summary:
More than 22 percent of children ages 12-18 say they have been bullied in school within the last month; a significant portion of those children have disabilities. However, little research exists on how bullying rates for individual children change over time. Now, a researcher and bullying expert has determined that children with disabilities are victimized by bullying at a much higher rate over time than their peers without disabilities.[/quote]

DP. This talks about rates of bullying.  Children with special needs are a small percentage of the population, so even if they individually on average harass more kids than the average child without special needs, these numbers will not address that.[/quote]
