- Author:
- KELLY Liz
- Journal article citation:
- Child Abuse Review, 1(3), December 1992, pp.157-167.

Explores two possible connections between disability and abuse: that disability can be the outcome of abuse, and that children with disabilities are differentially vulnerable to abuse. Evidence supporting both propositions is looked at and the major problems in research methods are highlighted. The review reveals that research evidence on the abuse of children with disabilities is inadequate to distinguish between the two connections or provide clear guidance on a range of concerns within the child protection field.
