Furthermore, children with disabilities are 3x’s more likely to be abused. Unfortunately, only 20% to 40% of child sexual abuse is ever reported to authorities. This is where you can make a difference.

Did you know that 95% of child sexual abuse is preventable through education? Education is prevention!
