“…They also can lack privacy and depend significantly on others leading to a sense of lack of control over their lives, which can be frustrating and lead to heightened risk for skirmishes (Bowen & Swift, 2019; Dammeyer & Chapman, 2018; Mailhot Amborski et al, 2022). Interpersonal factors associated with violence include the impacts of disability and economic‐related needs that increase reliance on others for support that can be distressing to the person with disabilities and caregiver, negative stereotypes about those with disabilities, communication difficulties, and the lack of accessible information and services that promote awareness and prevention of violence (Brown et al, 2022; García‐Cuéllar et al, 2023; Hughes et al, 2012; Mailhot Amborski et al, 2022).…”

BackgroundThis study examines the extent of exposure to verbal violence experienced by people with intellectual disabilities and whether it differs based on their housing situation: living in the community, with family, or in a residential facility.MethodOne hundred and eighty‐nine people with intellectual disabilities were interviewed about their experience with verbal violence.ResultsEighty‐six percent reported experiencing verbal violence in their lifetime and approximately 77% experienced it the past week. Participants were most likely to be yelled at, and friends were the most common perpetrators. While there were few differences by setting, people living with their families were more likely to be laughed at and marginally more likely to experience rude comments.ConclusionsVerbal violence is prevalent in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities in Israel. Interventions are necessary to assist people with intellectual disabilities to deal with such incidents, with possible additional supports needed for those living with family.
