DEL BARRIO, Cristina  and  VAN DER MEULEN, Kevin. Peer V¡ct¡m¡zat¡on Among Pup¡ls w¡th D¡sab¡l¡ty. Pensam. psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.1, pp.103-118. ISSN 1657-8961.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javerianacali.PPSI14-1.mapi.

Starting with an overview of the current scientific knowledge of peer bullying and social exclusion in schools, considered as a group problem, research on the nature and consequences of this negative relationship among students with any kind of disability is reviewed. The review shows a higher incidence of victims among Special Educational Needs (SEN) students compared with non-SEN students, together with differences not only in how the abuse takes place among peers, but also in relation to the person the victim goes to for help, depending on the type of disability of the victim -sensory, motor or developmental (intellectual, speech or communication, autistic spectrum disorders). The article focuses especially on how peer abuse affects pupils with Autistic Spectrum Disorders, and efficient types of intervention focusing on the peer group to change group relationships are presented.

Keywords : Peer bullying; disabilities; peer support; school life; Asperger Syndrome.
