A Typology of Disability Harassment in Secondary Schools
Holzbauer, Jerome J.; Conrad, Clifton F.
Career Development for Exceptional Individuals, v33 n3 p143-154 Dec 2010
The purpose of this exploratory study of disability harassment was to develop a typology of disability harassment experiences anchored in the perspectives of students with disabilities who have experienced harassment in urban, suburban, and exurban-rural schools. Based on focus group interviews with four groups of young people with various disabilities and two groups of parents of students with disabilities, the authors identified six major types of disability harassment and placed them on a continuum from least assertive to most aggressive. For each of the six types, signature behaviors were identified as was their respective frequency. Based on their findings, the authors propose several practical strategies for secondary schools (Grades 6-12) aimed at helping to address the multiple faces of this formidable challenge.
