"How bad should it be before I tell someone?" - Online abuse experiences of adult Australians with intellectual disability implications for resource development

Summary
This research explores how people with intellectual disability use the internet and how they experience and deal with online abuse. It also identifies gaps in the support and resources that are currently available for people with intellectual disability, their carers and service providers.
Interviews and focus groups with adults with intellectual disability, their carers and service providers were conducted in stages between May and December 2021.
The findings will be used to inform relevant online programs and resources provided by eSafety.
