Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) has recently adopted a new position statement focused on preventing and responding to maltreatment of children with disabilities. This significant initiative builds on previous efforts, including the CEC Policy on the Prevention of and Response to Maltreatment, and aims to provide actionable steps for educators, families, and professionals to create safe, supportive environments for all children. CEC recognizes that all infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities have the right to live and flourish in a safe environment where they are protected and supported against all forms of maltreatment, i.e., neglect as well as physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. CEC acknowledges that maltreatment experienced by infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities has a significant, lifelong, negative impact upon their ability to learn, communicate, interact and achieve at a level consistent with their potential (Morgart, Harrison, Hoon, & Floet, 2021; Perfect, Turley, Carlson, Yohanna & Saint Gilles, 2016; Wolpow, Johnson, Hertel & Kincaid, 2009). CEC maintains that it should be the goal of all educators and policy makers to play an active role in both the prevention of, and response to, the maltreatment of all, with a particular focus on infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities. CEC believes that these educationally accessible causes of maltreatment should be addressed within the student's educational planning documents, day-to-day instruction, educational policies, administrative oversight and support for students with disabilities, their parents, and the professionals who work with them.
