Summary/Abstract: Violence among children is a phenomenon that is present in the school system of almost all countries in the world, regardless of the degree of their social and economic development. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, as far as our knowledge is concerned, so far no study of peer violence has been reported as a group phenomenon by adopting an approach to participation in violence or the involvement of any of the participatory roles (bully, victim, assistant, helper, defense attorney) in connection with school success / failure among children with special needs. This is reason why we considered important to conduct such research. The survey encompassed 123 students with special needs attended by specialized institutions for education and rehabilitation of children with special needs in Tuzla, Sarajevo and Banja Luka. Statistical data processing was performed using the IBM Statistics v 22 software. From the descriptive statistical parameters, the arithmetic mean was calculated with the corresponding standard deviations. Also, Spearman's correlation was intended to establish the strength of the relationship between the school achievement of children with special needs of male and female sex with social, physical and emotional symptoms of exposure to violence measured on the SIN-SKALER scale.
