Abstract

The abstract reveal the prevalence of stereotypes connected to image of people with intellectual disability as social basis to stigmatization of this social group. Amoung widespread stereotypes we identyfied the next ones: necessity of izolation, aggressiveness, lack of interaction, low level of understanding of what is going on around them, specific of sexual interaction, instinct domination and absence of emotions and feelings. These and other stereotypes are broadcasting in every day life and appear as invective speech. The image of people with intellectual disabilities is often spelled with old fashion medical terminology. Invective pronouncing can be used to cause a negative reaction from people around. We substantiated the point of necessarity of strict understanding the stereotypical social representation for effective destigmatization work.
