Although the association between child maltreatment and childhood disability has been identified for many years, little was known about the nature or extent of the relation until recently. It is now apparent that children with a wide variety of disabilities are several times as likely to have a history of maltreatment as children without disabilities. Almost one third of children with special needs have substantiated histories of maltreatment and it is extremely likely that many others have experienced unreported or unsubstantiated maltreatment. Current research suggests three categories of relation between maltreatment and disability: (a) Maltreatment causes many disabilities, (b) children with disabilities are more vulnerable to maltreatment, and (c) some other primary causal factors increase risk for both violence and disability. Maltreatment is a significant impediment to student achievement whether a particular maltreated student is classified as having special needs and whether maltreatment was a significant factor in a student's primary diagnosis. Similarly, maltreatment contributes substantially to student behavior problems. To be effective in addressing learning and behavior problems, teachers and schools must identify and respond to child maltreatment and its effects. |
