This paper acknowledges that the knowledge base pertaining to the relationship between bullying and students with disabilities is relatively new and somewhat sparse. This paper also defines the terms bully and bullying and discusses the bully/disability dyad. Commercial programs and school interventions designed to decrease bullying in the schools are also addressed. Inference to an interagency collaboration of various stakeholders is suggested as a means of addressing the concerns presented by this pervasive threat to the safety and well-being of all children.
