Download or read book Child Abuse written by Dena Nazer and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, we review abuse and neglect among children with disabilities and highlight the importance of identifying abuse and neglect in this vulnerable population. Child maltreatment has many detrimental consequences, and in the absence of a professional response, further victimisation, life-long complications and possibly early death may occur. Disability and maltreatment are defined and addressed internationally. Patterns of victimisation presentation are discussed and suggestions are given to aid in recognition, assessment and treatment. Developmental considerations in the evaluation and treatment are reviewed, as are special situations with siblings and neglect of special medical needs. We conclude with a discussion of prevention and provide recommendations to improve our understanding of how to best identify child maltreatment and to improve practice among children with disabilities, so that they may maximise their developmental and intellectual potentials.
Download or read book Disability and Child Sexual Abuse written by Martina Higgins and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disability and Child Sexual Abuse examines the ways in which society marginalises, institutionalises and places disabled children in situations of unacceptable risk, and how - as evidenced in the survivors' narratives - patterns of service delivery can contribute to the problem. Based on the accounts of seven disabled individuals who were sexually abused in childhood, the book highlights a wide range of pertinent issues. Through case vignettes and empirical research, the authors ask practitioners to scrutinise their current professional practice, exploring participants' experiences of hospitalisation, education systems and local authorities. They consider the issue of who abuses and why, and highlight issues relating to the complexities involved in revisiting past experiences and confronting unwarranted and unwanted feelings of responsibility. The difficulty of recounting the abuse narrative is also examined within the research context. This book will be relevant for professionals and students in the social, health and education services, such as social workers, teachers and counsellors. It will also offer insights for those seeking a less disablist society, including disabled people themselves.

This book was released on 2016-04-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the development of our understanding of the abuse and neglect in the lives of children with disabilities.

The care and education of children with disabilities requires unique knowledge and skills and so does the consideration of their abuse and neglect.

Each chapter also contains a set of implications for research and practice. The final chapter focuses directly on prevention. Caregivers and professionals across disciplines will develop a new understanding of their roles in universal, secondary, and tertiary level prevention that is targeted, focused, data-based, and designed to prevent the abuse and neglect of children with disabilities in the first place.

Download or read book Sexual Abuse of Children with Intellectual Disabilities written by Catherine Carolyn Stewart and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although all children are vulnerable to maltreatment, children with disabilities have been demonstrated to be particularly vulnerable to all forms of abuse and neglect, including child sexual abuse. A qualitative, interdisciplinary study was undertaken in two urban centres in Southern Ontario that examined factors, systemic or otherwise, that aided or impeded individual mothers in protecting their children with developmental/intellectual disabilities from extra-familial child sexual abuse. In-depth interviews were conducted with mothers, their children, therapists, police officers, assistant Crown attorneys, victim witness assistance personnel, and court preparation workers. The study resulted in five portraits, four of which describe the experience of dealing with the sexual abuse from disclosure onwards, and one which deals with the observed experience of a child with developmental disabilities in court. Each portrait was examined from a personal/psychological, legal, and ecological point of view. The dual impact of caring for a child with a disability and dealing with the aftermath of child sexual abuse was considered. The portraits suggest that mothers and their children with disabilities, who have been sexually abused, are faced with sizable obstacles in the pursuit of justice and psychological recovery. In spite of recent changes and the efforts of individual professionals, most systems and organizations mandated to respond to this problem appear to be in many ways unprepared to deal with child victims with intellectual/developmental disabilities. The study includes recommendations for change.

Download or read book Disability Gender and Violence over the Life Course written by Sonali Shah and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-20 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to explore the interplay of disability, gender and violence over the life course from researcher, practitioner and survivor perspectives. It gives due weight to the accounts of disabled children and adults who have survived institutional or individual violence, evidencing barriers to recognition, disclosure and reporting. Written by disabled and non-disabled women from around the world, Disability, Gender and Violence over the Life Course addresses the dearth of voices and experiences of disabled women and girls in empirical research, policy and practice on issues of violence, victimisation, protection, support and prevention. Divided into three parts – Childhood, Adulthood and Older Life – this collection offers diverse perspectives on the intersectionality of disability, age, ethnicity, sexuality and violence that have hitherto been absent. This book will be an invaluable resource for students and practitioners of multiple fields of practice and academic studies, including health and social care, nursing, social work, childhood studies, gender studies, disability studies, safeguarding and child protection, equality and human rights, sociology and criminology.

Book excerpt: Most people with disabilities will experience some form of abuse during their lives. Studies constantly show that individuals with disabilities are significantly more likely to be physically or sexually abused than people without disabilities. As people with disabilities are integrated into all aspects of community life, the prevalence of abuse and the potential for society's violent tendencies toward these individuals cannot be minimized. To better protect their rights and dignity, easy availability of information about violence and abuse is more essential than ever.
