MIN,
Here is some stuff that might help ...
All the work by Dick Sobsey seems to have a very good acceptance in the field. The Roeher Institute has also done extensive work in the area - in particular a whole series of books called “Out of Harm’s Way” … you can find all of them on their website.
Some other stuff that I was sent regarding a course I was setting up:

Violence Against Women with Disabilities: Guidelines for Service Providers
These are Guidelines - written for service providers and includes: a general introduction to violence against women with special attention to women with disabilities; an overview of factors contributing to violence against women, again, with special attention to women with disabilities; a discussion of reasons why survivors don't report violence; an overview of impact issues; and a comprehensive review of intervention and prevention issues with attention to what anti-violence workers need to know about disability and what care givers need to know about violence against persons with disabilities.
Home Safe Home: Violence Against Women with Disabilities Living in Institutions and Group Homes.
The other handbook, Home Safe Home is written for women with profound physical disabilities and/or cognitive disabilities living in group homes or institutions. It is written in a very reader friendly manner with lots of illustrations and includes a "quiz" to help women determine if they have been or are being abused. It was developed as a resource that could be used by the women on their own or in conjunction with a supportive service provider.
