520			_aThis study examined the vulnerability of children who have learning disabilities, and their exposure to drugs, violence, psychological bullying, pornography and sexual abuse in everyday life. Data was collected from interviews conducted with 116 special education students, aged 11-17 years. There was found to be significant levels of exposure to violence in both home and school settings. The study's findings highlight the need for more special attention over the protection of boys. The findings also show that children with learning disabilities are less likely to recognise abuse as wrong, understand their rights, report abuse, or be considered a competent witness for court proceedings. The article also explores teaching safety programmes to special education students and making parent/caregiver education a high priority.
