Social and Emotional Learning for Children with Intellectual Disability: Implications for Inclusive Education
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Special Education
Abstract
Students acquire essential life skills that facilitate the cultivation of a constructive self-perception and foster the development of a sense of accountability. In the context of special education, social-emotional learning encompasses the instruction of two very significant lessons, namely the acquisition of social and emotional skills. These abilities are crucial in fostering the ability to see and understand alternative viewpoints held by others. In the classroom, these skills might help students and instructors bond, becoming mutual supporters rather than potential thorns in each other's sides. This paper discusses the influence of students with Intellectual Disability on the social and emotional learning and development on the importance of increasing school-based SEL programmes to promote the social and emotional development of such students in inclusive classrooms settings.
