0 An analysis of 6,371 British children found that behaviour problems among children with developmental and learning disabilities and those with chronic health problems increased when they started school. Researchers say the results indicate students need more than learning supports to adjust to school. They recommend schools also work to make students feel socially included.
The Millennium Cohort Study analysis suggests children with disabilities can become more hyperactive and have difficulty getting on with classmates.
It urges more stringent anti-bullying strategies in schools.
Disabled children can struggle on "multiple fronts" at school said co-author Prof Lucinda Platt.
The researchers from the Institute of Education, the London School of Economics and the National Children's Bureau, analysed information on some 6,371 children in England, born in 2000 and 2001, who are being followed by the Millennium Cohort Study.
They compared children without disabilities with children with a number of developmental, learning and health problems.
