This article discusses the effects of sexual abuse on black disabled children. Focusing on black children with learning disabilities, it examines how the dimensions of race, gender, and disability compound the problems they face after sexual abuse. It is argued that the way in which black disabled children and their families interpret their experience is likely to differ from other groups of disabled children. The article concludes with some reflections on the implications for making risk assessment for black disabled children.
