Abstract
‘There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you’ (Maya Angelou)This brief paper considers how trauma and attachment can be present in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities (ID). Trauma of a serious nature in childhood is both a heightened likelihood, and strong predictor, of negative outcomes for people with ID. However, it can also be addressed through psychological assessment and interventions, and is mediated through attachment bonds with others.
