Social well-being is essential to overall health and quality of life for all children and youth. However, young people with disabilities are often at higher risk for experiencing lower levels of social well-being than their peers without disabilities. They are among those more likely to be bullied and harassed, have a small number of friends outside the family, and participate in few extracurricular activities. The new publication, "Impact: Feature Issue on Supporting the Social Well-Being of Children and Youth with Disabilities," brings together practical and insightful articles focusing on what adults can do to create and sustain environments that contribute to social well-being, rather than social harm, for young people with disabilities and their peers.
