Although bullying amongst typically developing school-aged children has been well explored, it is under-researched for children with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to understand the experiences of exclusion and bullying among children with disabilities.
We draw on qualitative in-depth interviews and a focus group with children and youth with disabilities (n = 15) to explore their experiences of exclusion and bullying.
Our results showed that restrictions in the socio-contextual environment influenced the social exclusion that children experienced. Youth encountered social exclusion from both teachers and peers. Children reported that teachers' attitudes toward children with disabilities often influenced the social exclusion experienced by peers. Bullies engaged in both implicit and explicit forms of social exclusion toward children with disabilities which often lead to verbal and physical bullying.
Children with cerebral palsy are victims of bullying and social exclusion within the school context. More opportunities for social inclusion are needed.
尽管针对普通发展阶段的学龄儿童的欺凌行为已有充分研究，但针对残疾儿童的此类行为研究却相对较少。本研究旨在了解残疾儿童被排斥和受欺凌的经历。
我们通过对残疾儿童和青少年（n=15）进行深入的定性访谈和焦点小组讨论，探讨他们被排斥和被欺凌的经历。
研究结果表明，社会背景环境的限制影响了儿童所经历的社会排斥。青少年既受到教师的排斥，也受到同伴的排斥。儿童报告说，教师对残疾儿童的态度往往会影响到同伴的社会排斥。欺凌者对残疾儿童采取了隐性和显性的社会排斥，这往往导致言语和身体上的欺凌。
脑瘫儿童在学校环境中是欺凌和社会排斥的受害者。需要更多的机会来促进他们的社会融入。
