Abstract

Safe use of media sources is a part of curriculums for all students, including those with intellectual disabilities. Educators are promoting cyber-wellness through social emotional learning (SEL) incorporated with digital and media literacy skills. When students are prepared to face risky online interactions, they are more equipped to safely navigate dangers encountered online. Students with intellectual disabilities may interact safely in virtual settings either for social activities, learning, or employment when prepared with appropriate functional skills and provided accessible methods and tools. Educators utilizing proven instructional strategies can support students with intellectual disabilities as they access the internet. Students' awareness of potential online dangers along with the development of digital literacy skills can motivate them to be positive online risk takers.
