Abstrakt: Large number of children with intellectual disabilities encounters behavioral problems or show disharmonic behavior within the family, at school and in the community. Researches show that 30-50% of persons with intellectual disabilities have some behavioral problems. The behavior of children with intellectual disabilities depends on many factors: age of the child, level of intellectual disability, cognitive potentials, level of psycho-physical development, differentiation of emotions, communicative skills, social status and conditions of the environment (in the family and the wider community) where the child lives. The influence of some of these factors has been analyzed by this research. There are many instruments (questionnaires, scales) that evaluate behavior of persons with intellectual disabilities, and reveal problems that these persons have in their psychosocial development and social life. This research used the AAMD Adaptive behavior Scale (part II) and Scale for evaluating behavior of the child in school by authors Bojanin, Savanovikj. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
