Learning Disabilities and Bullying

Double Jeopardy

Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto, 246 Bloor Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 1A1, f.mishna{at}utoronto.ca

Independently, learning disabilities (LD) and involvement in bullying each pose a risk for social, emotional, and behavioral problems. Based on the research to date and on the characteristics common to children with LD and children who are bullied, there is reason to believe that children with LD are at increased risk of victimization. However, there is little research on the relationship between LD and bullying. This article presents factors and characteristics that make children and youth with LD vulnerable to bullying. Risk factors and effects of bullying are reviewed. Implications for practice and research are discussed.
