Domestic Violence and Children with Disabilities
November 20, 2008
9:30am-4:30pm
Course Description: Children with physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities are 1.7
times more likely to be maltreated than children without disabilities. The risk for abuse or neglect of children with
disabilities increases at least 1.5 times in households where domestic violence is present. Because the rate of re-occurence
of domestic violence and child abuse is high, understanding their interrelationship is crucial. Such understanding can
improve the ability of domestic violence advocates and child protective services workers to recognize the risks and to develop
viable mother and child safety plans.
Credits Offered: 6 contact hours, 6 CEUs FOR LCSWs, LCPCs
