BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS IN ADOLESCENTS WITH MILD INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY

Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 2013, Vol 14, Issue 3

Abstract

Adolescents with intellectual disabilities, due to deficits in their intellectual functioning, are exposed to even greater risk of developing various forms of behavioral disorders. Goal: to determine the risk of emergence of behavioral disorders in adolescents with mild intellectual disability. Respondents: adolescents (211) with mild intellectual disability, educational staff in special secondary schools (39) and members of the expert team (5). Methods: descriptive method, method of comparative analysis. Procedures: survey and semi-structured interviews with the educational staff and expert team. Statistical data processing: Windows Tool R x C for contingency tables analysis and Fisher Exact Test, and as significant were considered the differences with significance level of p<0.05. Results: with the statistical data processing we came to the conclusion that the school achievements affect the emergence of undesired behavior (p<0.001). Conclusion: we came to the conclusion that different forms of behavioral disorders appear in students and they haven’t been sufficiently informed about the possible consequences and they rarely voluntarily initiate conversation in respect of the problem. The behavioral disorders in this category of students are conditioned by multiple factors by the type of housing, the duration of the period in a student home, the school achievements, the age and the sex.
