Abstract

Most people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) have limited social contact and it is unclear what is done to maintain or increase these contacts. Individual support planning (ISP) can be used in the systematic enhancement of social contacts. The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Individual Support Plan (ISP) in improving the adaptive behaviour of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The study sample consisted of 30 persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities, aged 14 years and above. The experimental group was trained by using the ISP. The application took a full semester, and in order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher used the Supports Intensity Scale (SIS) to measure adaptive behaviour developed by al-Atawi (2012). The results indicated that there was a statistically significant effect at the level of significance 0.05 among the means of the total scores of the two groups, experimental and control on the (SIS) scale for the adaptive behaviour in the post measurement attributed to the use of ISP for the advantage of the experimental group. Additionally, the results spotlighted the significant effect of ISP on improving the adaptive behaviour on all activities.
