Studies have demonstrated that middle and high school students with disabilities are more likely to experience bullying than other student groups. The high rates of bullying victimization observed among youth with disabilities can result in severe socio-emotional consequences. These socio-emotional consequences often manifest in detrimental impacts on the students’ personal relationships. Past studies have indicated that participating in extracurricular athletic activities can have several socio-emotional benefits for students with disabilities. Given the findings of past studies demonstrating the positive relationship between mental health and participation in sports among students with disabilities, it is possible that participating in athletics could have a moderating relationship on the severity of the impact that bullying has on a student’s relationships with family and friends. Using the National Crime Victimization Survey/School Crime Supplement (NCVS/SCS), this study employs an ordinal logistic regression to determine if participation in extracurricular athletic activities mitigates the damaging impact bullying has on the personal relationships with friends and family among students who have disabilities. This study identified statistically significant results suggesting that students with disabilities who participate in athletics reported reduced levels of negative personal relationships resulting from bullying compared to their peers who did not participate in athletics.

“…With increased collaborations, this will in the long run be a form of public education to the community, demonstrating that employing YPWDs has proven benefits (e.g., Lindsay et al, 2018;Yamatani et al, 2015).

Young people with disabilities (YPWDs) in higher education require tailored career support in finding employment. Seventy‐five YPWDs in Hong Kong participated in a quantitative program effectiveness study using a three‐group comparison design (experimental, other intern, and control) to improve career‐related outcomes. Generalized estimating equations revealed that the experimental group showed significant improvements in career‐related outcomes such as career decision self‐efficacy and focused job search strategy while increasing disability‐related outcomes and work cynicism. This study reveals the impact of disability on work experience and its benefits for YPWDs. Important policy implications for future school–work transition programs for YPWDs are discussed.

“…Adopting an inclusion environment requires all workers to be considerate and responsible to each other. It is proven that inclusion among PWD and other workers is imperative to create a positive environment workplace from the aspect of social, cultural and workers well-being (Saidi et al, 2018;Verulava & Bedianashvili, 2021;Yamatani et al, 2015). Inclusion allows coworkers to expose themself with PWD and at the same time this will create an awareness to have more disable people to join the industry.…”
