Annotation: The Abuse of Disabled Children"
نویسندگان
چکیده
Open almost any recent social work magazine, or child protection text, and some reference to the abuse of disabled children will be included. Yet awareness of abuse within this group has resulted from a relatively recent growth of interest on the part of psychologists and social work and child protection professionals. Previously, sociocultural and political factors contributed to an otherwise muted response to research dating back to the 1960s, which clearly documents abuse of children who have an impairment or ‘‘developmental disability ’’ of some kind. Reviewing this research reveals as much about society’s reaction to disability and to disabled children, as it does about the abuse itself. ThisAnnotation presents research in relation to three issues : (1) prevalence of abuse of disabled children; (2) responding to abuse; and (3) preventing abuse.
