Objectives The purpose of this study is to identify problems in the institution and support system for children with disabilities, and to look at improvement measures to prevent abuse of children with disabilities by understanding the current status of abuse of children with disabilities (2020), and examining research trends related to abuse of children with disabilities.
 Methods For this purpose, first, this study analyzed the current status by referring to the 2020 Ministry of Health and Welfare s Children s Business Guide and the ‘Survey Results for 2020 Disable of Children Abuse Status analyzed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Central Disability Advocacy Agency. Second, to examine domestic research trends, through the academic research information service published after year 2000 and the National Assembly Electronic Library, this study searched and organized domestic academic journals using academic papers directly related to the abuse of children with disabilities. Third, this study reviewed the system and support system related to the abuse of children with disabilities, and summarized improvement studies.
 Results The research results are first, that in 2020, there were 268 reports of abuse of children with disabilities received from the national advocacy organizations for the rights of people with disabilities, and among them, there were 133 cases of abuse that were adjudicated as abuse, 36 cases of potential risk, 85 cases of non-abuse, and 14 cases under investigation. Abuse cases for children with disabilities accounted for 13.2% of all abuse cases in 2020. Second, studies on children with disabilities who are the victims of abuse are still insufficient. Third, the legal regulation system for children with disabilities should be enacted and strengthened. It is necessary to establish a support system for children with disabilities and systematically implement follow-up measures and interventions for cases of abuse of children with disabilities.
 Conclusions Therefore, this study suggests that it is necessary to seek future directions to prevent abuse of children with disabilities, and to enhance points to improve the current institution and systemic approach.
