“…Educating teachers about disability diagnostic criteria is necessary for providing SWDs accommodations and it is important for them to understand disability-specific risk factors that increase the likelihood of bullying involvement (i.e., disability severity, disability label, disability characteristics, class placement, special education services, disability comorbidity) (Rose et al, 2015). Additionally, skill deficits associated with common disabilities that place students at a heightened risk of bullying involvement are social and communication skills (Bear et al, 2015; Rose et al, 2019), therefore it is important that teachers can identify these skill domains to identify students at-risk or with disabilities and provide the supports and services that decrease the likelihood of bullying involvement. Further, students from minoritized backgrounds with disabilities are at an elevated risk of bullying involvement.…”
