Abstract
The 2012 Survey on Abuse of People with Disabilities is the first national survey of its kind -- one that focuses on incidents of, responses to, and attitudes about abuse or crime victimization of children and adults with disabilities. The survey sought input from the public, especially from persons with disabilities and those who interact with them, such as family members, caregivers, service providers, and advocates.
