Kyle,

    There was an interesting research article of PTSD and physical disability
in the last issue of Rehab. Counseling Bulletin. However, they utilized a VA
sample and did not include any cases of congenital physical disability. They
did, however, find that about one third of the PWD's experience "significant"
elements of PTSD.
