In this study, I investigated the maltreatment profiles of child welfare–involved children in special education and examined how those profiles influenced their internalizing and externalizing behaviors. I analyzed data on a sample of 290 children (63% male, 37% female, Mage = 11 years) from the National Survey on Child and Adolescent Well-Being II. When weighted, this sample represented approximately 233,000 children involved in the child welfare system and in special education. Results from latent class analyses revealed four maltreatment classes, listed by predominance: supervisory neglect, physical abuse, other forms of maltreatment, and sexual abuse. Relative to children in the sexual abuse class, children had higher teacher-reported internalizing problem behaviors if their predominate maltreatment class was either supervisory neglect or physical abuse. Understanding maltreatment and its consequences for child welfare–involved children in special education can help better inform ways to promote their educational success.

特殊教育中涉及儿童福利的儿童的虐待概况：分类和行为后果

在这项研究中，我调查了特殊教育中涉及儿童福利的儿童的虐待情况，并研究了这些情况如何影响他们的内化和外化行为。我分析了全国儿童和青少年幸福感调查 II 中 290 名儿童（63% 男性，37% 女性，法师 = 11 岁）的样本数据。加权后，该样本代表了大约 233,000 名参与儿童福利系统和特殊教育的儿童。潜在类别分析的结果揭示了四种虐待类别，按优势列出：监督忽视、身体虐待、其他形式的虐待和性虐待。相对于性虐待班的孩子，如果他们的主要虐待课程是监督忽视或身体虐待，则儿童有更高的教师报告的内化问题行为。了解虐待及其对儿童福利的影响——参与特殊教育的儿童可以帮助更好地了解促进他们教育成功的方法。
