AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS:
Assessment of Maltreatment of Children With Disabilities
Widespread efforts are continuously being made to
increase awareness and provide education to pediatricians regarding
risk factors of child abuse and neglect. The purpose of this statement is to ensure that children with disabilities are recognized as a
population that is also at risk for maltreatment. The need for early
recognition and intervention of child abuse and neglect in this
population, as well as the ways that a medical home can facilitate the
prevention and early detection of child maltreatment, should be
acknowledged.
