Research on barriers and help-seeking behavior as well as a closer focus on the process of change, like research on disability and domestic violence, is becoming an area of growing inquiry. This article focuses on an issue beyond the more prevalent analyses related to the nature of the abuse experience among individuals with disabilities, instead, turning the attention to the question of help-seeking behaviors and conducting a preliminary analysis looking at the use of strategies and abuse experience. The findings forge a link between these two important areas to enrich the ongoing dialogue and prevention and intervention strategies for all victims. Additionally, the limitations of the original study are discussed and findings suggest that because the measure of the intensity and frequency of the abuse is not clearly described, the discussion of strategies to promote personal safety is not specific. The author recommends including more information on the timing of abuse and the relationship of the abuser in future studies. References
