Punishing the Vulnerable: Exploring Suspension Rates for Students with Learning Disabilities
Brobbey, Gordon
Intervention in School and Clinic, v53 n4 p216-219 Mar 2018
Students with learning disabilities are suspended at disproportionate rates in schools. Although research has shown the ineffectiveness of suspension as a disciplinary tool, school administrators continue to use it to combat behavior infractions. This column presents a review of the literature on suspension for students with learning disabilities, its impact on their academic achievement, and sociodemographic factors that put students with learning disabilities at risk for suspension. Implications are discussed and further areas of research are suggested.
