Communication and social skills challenges – Some children with special educational needs may find it hard to express themselves or interpret social cues, making them prone to bullying. Visible differences or learning challenges – Physical differences, mobility aids, or clear learning difficulties can sometimes make children more noticeable. Misunderstanding by peers – Peers might not grasp the behaviors or requirements of children with special educational needs and may react negatively. Dependence on adults – Children requiring additional support might be perceived as “easier targets” since they may not respond like their peers. This emphasizes the importance of fostering inclusion, understanding, and peer awareness in educational settings.
