Someone with a learning disability may be vulnerable to abuse due to difficulties in communication, which can hinder their ability to report or understand abusive situations. They may also have challenges with social cues and relationships, making it harder to recognize harmful behaviors. Additionally, a reliance on caregivers for support can create power imbalances, leaving them more susceptible to manipulation or exploitation. Their isolation from peers may further reduce their access to resources and support systems that could help protect them.
