AB People with mild intellectual disabilities often have difficulties understanding and expressingadvanced linguistic concepts. Prior to the arrival of COVID-19, there were no research-backedmodels to guide virtual interventions with this population. The research presented here pursuesthree objectives: to determine if the vocabulary of people with mild intellectual disabilities (ID)improves following face-to-face and virtual learning interventions, to understand the differencesbetween these two interventions, and to assess participants’ perceptions of both modalities. Thesample consists of 10 adults with mild ID who participated in 10 face-to-face learning sessionsand 10 virtual learning sessions. An ad hoc designed vocabulary assessment instrument andsemi-structured interviews are used, in addition to statistical software SPSS and Atlas.ti. Theresults show improvements in vocabulary in both modalities, although no significant differenceswere found, suggesting that both in-person and virtual modalities are effective for vocabularylearning in people with ID. However, there were exceptions in some categories such as gardeningand baking. Likewise, participants expressed satisfaction and enthusiasm toward both interventions,but showed a preference for face-to-face sessions.
