Abstract

Children with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) often have issues performing their activities of daily living (ADL) due to difficulty learning new skills. This scoping review was conducted to identify the behavioural techniques that can help in improving the ADL among children with ID. Six databases were used to search articles using behavioural techniques from 2000 to 2020 using the related searching terms and based on the inclusion criteria. Thirty articles met the inclusion criteria that highlighted the behavioural techniques and the trend of techniques to improve ADL among children with ID.

Keywords: Scoping review; behaviour techniques; intellectual disabilities.
