The Relationship Between Speech and Language Disorders and Violence Against Women: A Scoping Review.

Violence against women with disabilities has received more attention in recent years recognizing the intersectionality of experiences of abuse, yet little is known about the less visible forms of disability such as speech and language disorders. This review aimed to identify and synthesize existing literature exploring the relationship between speech and language disorders and victimization, including child sexual abuse (CSA), exposure to domestic violence in childhood, and intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual assault in adulthood. Five electronic databases were systematically searched using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews guidelines.
