Kids with disabilities more likely to be exposed to violence, CDC says

Posted on

“The study relied on data from the 2019 National Health Interview Survey and compared reports from a ‘knowledgeable adult, usually a parent,’ of children with disabilities to those reported by the adults who care for children without disabilities.

About 17 percent of children with disabilities were reported to have been a victim of or witnessed violence in their neighborhood, compared with 5.3 percent of their counterparts.”
