Children under the age of 8 experience maltreatment (e.g., child abuse, neglect, and trauma) at an alarming rate. During the first year of life, children are at the highest risk for maltreatment, with 24 out of every 1,000 children experiencing it (Child Maltreatment, 2014). An effective way to support children who have experienced maltreatment is to help them build resilience in the face of adversity. This issue explores practices for building resilience in children with disabilities or suspected delays who have also experienced maltreatment.
