“…The researchers both had extensive experience in working with adults with disabilities. One had focused their research on verbal violence toward adults with disabilities and had previously used the CIL model in studies with children with IDD (Karni, 2014). The second researcher had engaged primarily in qualitative research of strategies to support adults with disabilities (Neuman, 2020a(Neuman, , 2020b.…”

“…Moreover, such violence is often perpetrated by familiar people, caregivers, relatives, friends, and professionals (McGowan & Elliott, 2019; Scolese et al, 2020). Research has shown that people with IDD are exposed to violence 10 times more than people without disabilities (Dembo et al, 2018; Karni, 2014).…”

“…The most frequent sources of verbal violence toward them were their friends and relatives (especially parents). Karni (2014) studied the frequency of verbal violence among 90 people with IDD who resided in different housing programs. The focus was on describing and identifying verbal violence toward people with IDD, a significant aspect of social interactions that shapes and influences the life of the adults with IDD.…”

Violence against people is a widespread phenomenon and violence against people with disabilities even more common. Studies have examined different types of violence toward people with disabilities, but there has been almost no research to date on verbal violence involving people with intellectual or development disabilities (IDD). The present research focused on this subject. A qualitative study was conducted using an intervention program. The research questions were (a) what can help people with IDD expand their understanding of verbal violence and differentiate different situations of verbal violence and (b) what can help people with IDD expand their means for handling verbal violence of their own and that directed toward them? The sample included 64 people (45 males, 19 females; ages 22–75) with mild IDD, who were divided into four groups of 16 participants each in the intervention program. The findings indicate that the participants’ conceptualization of verbal violence improved after the intervention program. Three main themes were identified: (a) differentiation between good and bad; (b) choosing how to handle verbal violence; and (c) helping others cope with verbal violence. Consistent with the humanistic perspective, the findings show that people with IDD can learn to handle verbal violence toward them in a way that promotes their understanding, enables them to choose their reactions, and affects those around them, as well as strengthening their self-efficacy. The research contributes to the sparse knowledge regarding verbal violence, especially against people with IDD, and offers ways of intervening to help them handle verbal violence.

The current study focuses on students with special needs who are integrated in mainstream education frameworks. The first aim of the study is to determine whether students with and without special needs exhibit different levels of violence. The second aim is to determine the impact of a specially-designed intervention program which is implemented with students with special needs and intends to increase their understanding of the various aspects of violence. The current study involved 561 (197 of them with special needs) male and female students studying in the 7 th -9 th grade in an regional junior high school in Israel. All the students completed the "Bully/Victim Questionnaire" [1]. Students with special needs participated in an intervention program based on the Cycle of Internalized Learning (CIL) model [2]. After completing the intervention program, students' perceptions of violence were reassessed by using the "Bully/Victim Questionnaire". The pre-intervention findings indicated no difference in the pattern or the level of violence among students with special needs and the other students at the school, where as post-intervention. Findings revealed that students with special needs expressed higher incidences of violence than their peers who had not participated in the intervention.
