Abuse and Neglect of Children with Disabilities: A Collaborative Response

WHO Target audience includes all community professionals who
serve children with disabilities, and parent advocates for children with
disabilities.

WHY Children with disabilities are at much greater risk for all
forms of abuse and neglect. Investigation is more complicated in these
cases. Protection for these children depends on the collaboration of
well-informed professionals and parent advocates.
