Communication and social skills issues – Some children with special educational needs may struggle to express themselves or interpret social cues, making them vulnerable to bullying. Visible differences or learning challenges – Physical differences, mobility aids, or discernible learning difficulties can sometimes make children stand out. Misunderstanding by peers – Peers might not comprehend the behaviors or needs of children with special educational needs and may react unfavorably. Dependence on adults – Children needing more support may be viewed as “easier targets” since they may not respond in the same manner as others. This highlights the necessity of promoting inclusion, understanding, and peer awareness in schools. If you're interested, I can also compile a quick list of strategies schools can use to mitigate bullying of students with special educational needs. Would you like me to do that?
