Abstract
[Children with special healthcare needs have an increased risk for child abuse and neglect (Sullivan & Knutson, 1998; Sullivan & Knutson, 2000). The maltreatment of these children and youth is frequently unidentified and unrecognized in healthcare settings. Consequently, efforts are needed to inform healthcare providers about the risk factors for child maltreatment among children with special healthcare needs. This requires that healthcare providers be vigilant in their medical assessments of these children for both maltreatment and disability status. This chapter presents maltreatment risk factors, perpetrator characteristics, and maltreatment characteristics of children with special healthcare needs that have been identified through research in healthcare settings. These risk factors and maltreatment characteristics have diagnostic and treatment implications for medical professionals. Practical guidelines for pediatricians in identifying maltreatment among children with special healthcare needs are presented with special emphasis on the abuse potential of restraint used in both medical and behavioral hospital settings. Guidelines for working with the families of children with special healthcare needs are presented. Case study examples of neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse of children with special healthcare needs are also given.]
