Notes:	Overview: This paper presents an overview of current research into domestic violence as it impacts individuals with disabilities. Discussion: The paper broadens the definition of domestic violence to include that perpetrated by carers who may or may not live with the disabled individual and may include spouses, domestic partners, children, parents, or other relatives of the individual. While noting the lack of research in this field, Baladerian discusses three research programs which have contributed information on the incidence and types of violence experienced by people with disabilities. She then identifies gaps in the data concerning how domestic violence differs according to the type or severity of the disability, ethnicity, race, language, geographic location, age and gender. * Disabilities and cultural diversity
