Research focusing on online identity and the personal experiences of adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) is currently limited. Eleven adults with ID were interviewed regarding personal experiences of being online and using social media. Data were analyzed qualitatively using thematic network analysis. Two global themes, online relatedness and sharing and online agency and support, highlighted the positive potential of social media in enabling the development and maintenance of social bonds, valued social roles, and feelings of enjoyment, competence, autonomy, and self-worth. Participants reported sharing various expressed online identities that did not focus on or hide impairment, challenging notions of dependency, with participants both providing support and being supported online.

“…Por otro lado, la perspectiva de la 'gestión positiva de los riesgos' es un área poco explorada en el ámbito de la discapacidad intelectual y el uso de Internet y que, sin embargo, puede ayudar a favorecer el uso responsable de esta herramienta, sintiendo, tanto los propios usuarios como sus cuidadores, que tienen controlados los riesgos. Desde este enfoque se defiende la idea de que las personas con IDD deberían tomar sus propias decisiones acerca de sus vidas y de cómo vivirla (Seale, 2014;Seale & Chadwick, 2017). Más que evitarse los riesgos en Internet se debe dotar a los usuarios con las herramientas que le permitan reconocer y gestionar dichos riesgos y ganar, de esta forma, un mayor control sobre su vida y bienestar.…”

RESUMENA pesar de que Internet tiene múltiples beneficios para la sociedad, también implica algunos riesgos que deben ser identificados. Estos riesgos se pueden percibir como mayores para algunos grupos más vulnerables como son los niños y las personas con discapacidad. No obstante, dichos riesgos no deben limitar el acceso a Internet, especialmente de las personas con discapacidad intelectual y del desarrollo (IDD). Por el contrario, se debería tener un mayor conocimiento sobre los peligros y cómo gestionarlos. El propósito de este estudio es explorar y comparar las percepciones que tienen los estudiantes de Magisterio sobre los riesgos del uso de Internet por personas con y sin IDD. Participó una muestra de conveniencia de 121 estudiantes de Magisterio de los cuales el 77% eran mujeres (n = 93) y la edad media de 21.79 años (DT = 4.23). Los participantes debían responder a un cuestionario que incluía algunas cuestiones sociodemográficas y 30 riesgos potenciales de Internet que se presentaron en una escala tipo Likert de cinco puntos (1 = Totalmente en desacuerdo; 5 = Totalmente de acuerdo). Los estudiantes debían valorar cada ítem dos veces, una para cada uno de los colectivos estudiados (personas con y sin IDD). A pesar de que los participantes perciben un alto riesgo en el uso de Internet, se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los grupos. Los estudiantes de Magisterio perciben mayores riesgos en Internet para las personas con IDD que para el resto de la población en cuestiones como el ciberacoso, ser expuesto a contenido inapropiado, comunicarse con desconocidos, pasar demasiado tiempo en las redes sociales o gastar dinero online.Palabras clave: internet; discapacidad intelectual y del desarrollo; riesgos; magisterio ABSTRACTComparing student teachers' perceptions of the risks of the Internet for people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities.

“…Shpigelman and Gill (2014) suggest that using social media and the potential loss of privacy may pose a greater risk to people with ID due to potential stigmatisation. Perceptions and concerns about increased vulnerability and the ability of people with ID to manage online risk may contribute to digital exclusion (Seale and Chadwick, 2017).…”

“…Risks are likely to vary between individuals. An individual support approach may prove useful in preventing or managing risk (Seale and Chadwick, 2017). Future research should explore experiences of specific risks and cybercrimes amongst distinct groups of people with ID with particular support needs.…”

Purpose: This review summarises the current state of empirical knowledge pertaining to online risk and cybercrime relating to people with intellectual disabilities (ID). Approach: This narrative review summarises, synthesises and critically evaluates the current literature and state of knowledge and offers suggestions for extending current knowledge and practice. Findings: Evidence regarding risk for people with ID is limited but growing. Existing findings highlight that: (i) risk may increase contingent upon higher levels of sociability, loneliness, anxiety and depression, poorer insight, judgement, discrimination and ability to detect deception online and reduced experience and life opportunities; (ii) people without ID perceive high online risk for people with ID which may lead to gatekeeping restrictions and controlling digital access; (iii) restriction may potentially impede online self-determination, participation and development by people with ID; (iv) experience of risk may enhance awareness, independence and resilience in managing future online risk amongst people with ID. Further research work is needed in this area to enhance understanding of risk experience and effective support strategies. Originality/value: This review of current knowledge has highlighted the necessity for more research to better understand the propensity for engagement in different risky online behaviours and to better inform support practices to help people with ID to manage risk whilst maintaining digital inclusion.
