This study examined the data collected by the Michigan Study on Women with Physical Disabilities (2002) and accessed from the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research. The surveyed sample of 177 women with disabilities that included arthritis, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, visual impairment, hearing impairment, traumatic brain injury and other conditions causing impaired functioning. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a relationship in the level of assistance with activities of daily living and abuse for hearing-impaired women and women with other disabilities. The current study will use descriptive statistic and inferential statistics including T-tests analyses to assess statistical significance between different variables. Pearson correlation was conducted to find whether or not there exists a difference among groups. The findings showed the women who were not abused required higher level of assistance than women who were abused. However, the relationship was not significant. For the hearing impaired, there was a statistically significant relationship between lower level of assistance and abuse. There was also a significant relationship for the women who were not abused required more assistance than those who were abused.
