This paper summarises some current research on domestic violence and how it affects people with all kinds of disabilities, including those acquired as the direct result of abuse. Future research and intervention directions are identified including: domestic violence as a cause of disability; domestic violence involving people with learning or developmental disabilities; the prevention of sexual assault in relationships between people with learning disabilities through sex education; disability awareness and service accessibility in the domestic violence movement; and the need to take cultural values and identities into account.
