Abstract
The number of students with intellectual disabilities in regular classrooms has been expanding yearly, but the problem of school bullying has severely impacted their physical and mental health and future development. Seven ordinary teachers were invited to participate in semi-structured interviews, and qualitative data analysis was performed using MAXQDA 2022. The results showed that children with intellectual disabilities who were bullied lacked social skills and anti-bullying consciousness. Children with intellectual disabilities were often isolated and treated differently by ordinary students. Furthermore, schools failed to address school bullying, and teachers did not deal with school bullying properly. There were also problems in the parenting of those who had been bullied, and the parents’ attitudes towards their children were often negative. In view of this, relevant countermeasures were proposed.
