    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Child Development
    • Social Work

    Background:

    • Child abuse and neglect can affect growth and development in children with handicaps.
    • Understanding is based on experience with 37 children with cerebral palsy who experienced maltreatment and literature review.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify crucial problems in the abuse and neglect of children with handicaps.
    • To highlight systemic failures in protecting maltreated children with disabilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Case study analysis of 37 children with cerebral palsy.
    • Literature review of abuse and neglect in relation to handicaps.

    Main Results:

    • Identified four key problems: abuse causing handicaps, abuse of handicapped children, compromised care in medical/legal systems, and inadequate foster care.
    • Systemic failures were observed in protective and care systems.

    Conclusions:

    • Maltreated children with handicaps face significant barriers to reaching their developmental potential.
    • Pediatricians should be aware, coordinate services, and advocate for these children.
