                  Complete the National Survey on Abuse of People 
with Disabilities
                  Join more than 4,000 people who have already 
taken the survey
                  Please complete the National Survey on Abuse of 
People with Disabilities and help reduce the risk of abuse.

                  The purpose of the survey is to seek input from 
the public, especially from persons with disabilities or those 
who interact with them, such as family members, caregivers, 
service providers, and advocates.  The anonymous survey is being 
conducted by the Disability and Abuse Project of Spectrum 
Institute.

                  The survey, which takes just a few minutes to 
complete, gathers information about actual incidents of abuse as 
well as attitudes regarding the adequacy and effectiveness, or 
not, of official responses to such victimization.

                  The results will be shared with:

                    a..  people who shape public policy and fund 
abuse-response programs (legislators)

                    b..  people who investigate and prosecute 
complaints of abuse (law enforcement)

                    c..  people who promote more effective 
protection and response systems (nonprofit advocacy groups)

                    d..  people with disabilities and their 
families

                  Survey link: 
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/disabilityandabuse

                  The Disability and Abuse Project focuses on 
physical, sexual, and emotional abuse of people with 
developmental or intellectual disabilities.  Their mission is to 
identify ways to reduce the risk of abuse, to promote healing for 
victims, and to seek justice for those who have been victimized.

                  Thank you completing the survey and please 
share with people you know.
