“…In the state of Florida where the present study took place, police cadets take 14 hours of coursework regarding citizens with mental illness and only about four hours of that time is dedicated to discussing persons with intellectual disabilities (Florida Department of Law Enforcement, 2006). Hauser et al (2014) also claim "persons with intellectual disability come into frequent and underreported contact with the legal system" (p. 1). Louisiana has a special department assigned to handle any dealings the department has with the mentally ill or handicapped (Tebo, 2007).…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine police officer perceptions about persons with intellectual disabilities. Design/methodology/approach – In this study, 188 officers from three police districts in the Southeast USA were surveyed using a modified Social Distance Questionnaire. Findings – Results indicate that the majority of police officers surveyed had little or no training with regard to disabilities and that most are willing to interact socially with individuals with intellectual disabilities. Further, this study found that female officers had significantly greater positive attitudes toward individuals with intellectual disabilities than male respondents and that white respondents were more knowledgeable about these individuals than those from minority backgrounds. Research limitations/implications – While these results are significant, it should be noted that the number of female and minority participants was relatively low. Practical implications – The paper includes recommendations for professional development for police officer and criminal justice training programs. Social implications – As individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities are increasingly integrated into society, their vulnerability to mishandling by the criminal justice system and police officers intensifies. This paper allows police officers and those within the field of criminal justice an opportunity to examine perceptions as they seek to understand how police and general societal perceptions impact the way that people interact with persons with intellectual disabilities. Originality/value – This paper fulfills a need to examine attitudes of police officers toward citizens with intellectual disabilities in the communities in which they live. These attitudes often affect the way that police officers interact with citizens and identify additional training needs to better prepare officers for diverse individuals they may will encounter.

“…The diagnosis of ID, beyond the role of IQ testing, encompasses a broader range of issues. The seven domains of intellectual functioning in DSM‐5 may not all be confirmable by psychological testing and the use of the term ‘such as’ prior to the list of domains indicates that there are still other functions that merit consideration (Hauser et al., 2014). At times in forensic proceedings, the fallacious argument has been made that the relevant deficits in adaptive behavior must be caused by low intelligence (Olley, 2013).…”

Forensic psychiatrists and neuropsychiatrists are likely to encounter individuals with intellectual disability as they are over‐represented in the judicial system. These individuals may have the full range of mental illnesses and comorbid conditions, including physical infirmity, sensory deficits, language impairment, and maladaptive behaviors. They are frequently disadvantaged in the judicial system due to lack of comprehension, lack of accommodations, and stigmatization. Decision making capacity may need to be assessed for health care, sexual autonomy, marriage, financial management, making a will, and need for guardianship. The usual approach to conducting an evaluation needs adaptation to fit the unique characteristics and circumstances of the individual with intellectual disability. The forensic consultant can assist attorneys, defendants, and victims in recommending accommodations and the expert witness can provide education to juries.

“…Tracing back to the DSM-V the word intellectual disability disorder is being replaced with the 'Intellectual Developmental Disorder' which signifies the importance of the other aspects providing wider range to look for the diagnosis of the disease. The term was changed not only with the intention to stigmatise the individual but also to consider the other aspects which should be taken into consideration [7,8] . The most accepted definition widely and the system classification for the Intellectual Disability Disorder consider the adaptive functioning aspect in the series of the following order of conceptual domain, social domain and practical domain [9] .…”

The Intellectual Disability Disorder is found as a one of the clinical manifestations of the rare disorders which occupies a total prevalence of about 6 to 8% globally. The rare disorder is found to cause many of the chronic disabilities in which the intellectual disability disorder is one of them which has a drastic impact on the individual who is affected and their families and includes the health care system. The onset period of the rare disorder begins from the prenatal period into the late adulthood and it is being assessed that about the half of the individual affected are children [1] . The prime and the only purpose of this study undertaken is to find the effectiveness of the homoeopathic medicine in the treatment of the Intellectual Disability Disorder and also to alter their intellectual and the adaptive functions of the affected individual. The homoeopathic medicine will remove the disease from the root cause.
