Maltreatment of Children with Disabilities: Research Overview Patricia M. Sullivan, Ph.D. Center for the Study of Children’s Issues Creighton University School of Medicine

Objective 1: The participants of this presentation will be able to identify the incidence of maltreatment among children and youth with disabilities including the demographic characteristics of age at first maltreatment, perpetrator characteristics, and family stress factors related to maltreatment. They will be able to identify the relative risks for different types of maltreatment for differing groups of children with disabilities.

Objective 2: The participants of this presentation will be able to identify co- occurring factors in the maltreatment of children with disabilities including the role of domestic violence, runaway behavior and parent characteristics.

Objective 3: The participants will acquire knowledge about the medical neglect of children with disabilities including the types of medical appointments they are most likely to miss and the most frequent reasons for missing them. Participants will learn the role of ethnicity, insurance provider, gender, socioeconomic, disability, and maltreatment status in children’s access to medical appointments.
