Child Abuse, Neglect
Children with disabilities are at a higher risk of suffering abuse and/or neglect.
We provide resources where parents and caregivers can turn for support when facing the challenges of child abuse or neglect.
The Mayerson Center for Safe and Healthy Children at Cincinnati Children’s is a premier program that has helped set the national standard for enhancing and strengthening evaluations of child abuse.
