Children with disabilities experience higher rates of abuse and neglect than their peers, often due to increased dependency on caregivers, communication barriers, and social isolation. Preventing harm requires informed adults, supportive communities, and intentional strategies that promote safety, dignity, and inclusion. Join us as we explore the unique vulnerabilities faced by children with disabilities and the critical role families, educators, service providers, and community members play in protection and prevention. Leave with tools to recognize warning signs, respond appropriately to concerns, and foster environments where all children are safe, valued, and heard.
