[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 533522"] MWM, in a way the answer to your question is yes. It depends on the disability and the way it affects their ability to live independently. If there are definite areas where their life and body are could be in danger and they need services just to stay physically safe, they are considered vulnerable adults. If their IQ is low enough or they function at a low enough level to not know that they are being victimized, they are considered vulnerable adults. That's the easiest explanation I can give even after working as a social worker with vulnerable adults. How's that for sad?!? [/QUOTE]
