Preventing Bullying Among Children With Special Educational Needs

Bullying constitutes a broad concept encompassing various essential components. It is characterized by hostile and repetitive behavior directed by an individual or a collective group. The essence of bullying lies in an inherent power imbalance and is rooted in a conscious, deliberate, and intentional pursuit of causing harm to the targeted individual. Bullying is acknowledged as a pervasive, enduring, and significant issue present in schools worldwide, spanning various national contexts. Unfortunately, the prevalence of bullying extends beyond typical schools, reaching institutions designed to support students with special needs. Further research may increase our academic understanding of the frequency and nature of bullying among students receiving special education support. Preventing Bullying Among Children With Special Educational Needs delves into the strategies employed by schools or institutions to address these regrettable instances of bullying involving children with special needs. It also explores the current global status of bullying, and the interventions implemented to counteract such occurrences. This book covers topics such as neurodiversity, K-12 education, and special education, and is a useful resource for educators, academicians, psychologists, sociologists, scientists, and researchers.
