"One student was routinely punished for her “ADHD behaviours” at school,
another was locked in a classroom, while another was sent home 85 times in a
single year.
These are just some of the responses we had in a new survey of parents and
caregivers about their disabled children’s experiences in Australian schools.
We also heard from students who described “being picked last for everything”,
teasing and physical pushing as well as students and staff saying they were
“faking” their disability.
In two reports released today for advocacy group, Children and Young People
with Disability Australia (CYDA), we reveal alarming rates of bullying and
exclusion in Australian schools."
