Abstract
The child maltreatment literature, which implies that children with physical disabilities may be at increased risk for abuse or neglect, is evaluated with reference to theoretical, definitional, and methodological concerns. Research issues are discussed and suggestions made for further delineating and defining the nature of any linkages that may exist.Keywords
