The purpose of this 2012 research study was to determine the effects of a social inclusion program on individuals with intellectual disabilities. Using findings from various journals and publications as a basis for research, this study explores the effects of a social inclusion program in relation to social skills abilities in four individuals with intellectual disabilities. During an 8 week period, social skills abilities of the participants were rated in four specific areas: initiating eye contact, maintaining eye contact, asking an appropriate question, and responding appropriately to a question. Results showed increases in each social skills area over time. Future research might further explore whether a direct correlation exists between participation in this program and social skills abilities.
