Abstract

This study uses comparative group analysis by racial/ethnic subgroups to compare the disciplinary outcomes of girls with disabilities compared to their non-disabled peers. We found higher likelihoods of girls with disabilities to experience exclusionary discipline for all racial/ethnic groups across all types of exclusionary discipline. This is significant for all who want equity for minoritized students, especially those interested in race, gender and disability studies.
