目的：评估在因现有残疾而被确定的儿童群体中受虐待和被忽视的发生率，将特定类型的残疾与特定类型的虐待相关联，并确定虐待和忽视对有残疾和无残疾儿童的学业成绩和出勤率的影响。
方法：将学校记录与中央登记处、寄养审查委员会和警方数据库进行电子合并，然后对虐待情况进行详细的记录审查。
结果：对虐待情况和残疾存在情况的分析表明，非残疾儿童的虐待发生率为9%，残疾儿童为31%。因此，该研究确定了与教育相关的残疾存在与虐待之间的显著关联。
结论：残疾儿童遭受虐待的可能性是非残疾同龄人的3.4倍。学校专业人员需要认识到他们所服务的儿童中虐待的高基准率。在全国虐待发生率研究中需要考虑残疾状况。（C）2000爱思唯尔科学有限公司
Objectives: To assess the prevalence of abuse and neglect among a population of children identified as a function of an existing disability, relate specific types of disabilities to specific types of abuse, and to determine the effect of abuse and neglect on academic achievement and attendance rates for children with and without disabilities.Method: An electronic merger of school records with Central Registry, Foster Care Review Board, and police databases was followed by a detailed record review of the circumstances of maltreatment.Results: Analyses of the circumstances of maltreatment and the presence of disabilities established a 9% prevalence rate of maltreatment for nondisabled children and a 31% prevalence rate for the disabled children. Thus, the study established a significant association between the presence of an educationally relevant disability and maltreatment.Conclusions: Children with disabilities are 3.4 times more likely to be maltreated than nondisabled peers. School professionals need to be cognizant of the high base rate of maltreatment among the children they serve. Disability status needs to be considered in national incidence studies of maltreatment.
