TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Trauma and adolescents with intellectual disabilities: interprofessional clinical and service perspectives JO - Journal of child and adolescent trauma A1 - Bradley, Elspeth A1 - Sinclair, Lynne A1 - Greenbaum, Rachel SP - 33 EP - 46 VL - 5 IS - 1 N2 - Myths, misunderstandings, and misconceptions have contributed to the underrecognition of increased vulnerability and greater exposure to trauma of people with intellectual disabilities (mental retardation). Consequently, individuals so traumatized remain hidden in distress that further diminishes reaching their full capacity. In this article, we explore these issues from interprofessional clinical and service perspectives and illustrate our understanding by drawing on our work with adolescents with intellectual disabilities who have experienced trauma in their lives.
