Abstract

Background

Although it is often stated that children with special needs are at risk of being abused and neglected, research conducted on the abuse of children with specific learning disorders (SLDs) is limited.

Methods

This case–control study aims to compare exposure to neglect and abuse among children diagnosed with SLDs (case group) and children with typical development (control group). The study included children aged 6 to 12 years who were referred to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic and Pediatric Clinic of a hospital in Türkiye. The data collection process included 196 participants and lasted for 7 months in 2020.

Results

Based on the analysis of the data collected with the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children-Present and Lifetime Turkish Version (K-SADS-PL-T) and the Abuse Assessment Questionnaire, we determined that children with SLDs were physically and emotionally abused more than the children of the control group. In addition, they witnessed violence between their parents more than the control group. Physical abuse, emotional abuse and witnessing family violence were identified as significant predictors for SLD.

Conclusions

The presence of SLDs is a significant risk factor for children to be exposed to abuse even in the absence of ADHD as a comorbidity.

土耳其对有特殊学习障碍儿童的虐待和忽视：病例对照研究

背景虽然人们常说有特殊需要的儿童有被虐待和忽视的风险，但针对有特殊学习障碍（SLD）的儿童所做的研究却很有限。方法本病例对照研究旨在比较被诊断患有特殊学习障碍的儿童（病例组）和发育正常的儿童（对照组）遭受忽视和虐待的情况。研究对象包括在土耳其一家医院的儿童和青少年精神病门诊及儿科诊所就诊的 6 至 12 岁儿童。数据收集过程包括 196 名参与者，在 2020 年持续了 7 个月。结果根据对学龄儿童情感障碍和精神分裂症时间表--现在和终生土耳其版（K-SADS-PL-T）和虐待评估问卷所收集数据的分析，我们确定患有 SLD 的儿童比对照组儿童遭受更多身体和情感虐待。此外，他们目睹父母之间暴力的次数也多于对照组。身体虐待、情感虐待和目睹家庭暴力被认为是导致 SLD 的重要预测因素。结论即使不合并多动症，患有特殊学习障碍也是儿童遭受虐待的重要风险因素。
