Domestic Violence and People with Disabilities

I realize this is short notice, but I just obtained permission to post it. I've been saying abuse and neglect is domestic violence for some time now. Apparently there are others who see it the same way.

Domestic Violence and People with Disabilities: What you should know

Join Jewish Women International in a 60-minute live teleconference presented by Nora J Baladerian, PhD, licensed clinical psychologist, licensed marriage and family therapist, certified sex therapist and board certified forensic examiner. Presently, Dr. Baladerian is the director of the Disability, Abuse and Personal Rights Project in Los Angeles, California.
