Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an individual educational plan (IEP) in reducing behavioral challenges of students with intellectual disabilities in Rafha province. The researcher developed a tailored IEP that included both school-based and extracurricular activities targeting social skills and behavior development. After discussing and reviewing the plan with a team of experts, the study was conducted with two groups: a test group and a control group, each consisting of six students enrolled in a special education school in Rafha, Saudi Arabia. The students’ IQ scores ranged from 55 to 69, according to the Wechsler scale, and their ages ranged from 7 to 10 years, with a mean age of 8.75 years (SD = 1.13). Behavioral problems were assessed before and after the intervention using Burks' scale. The IEP was implemented over 8 weeks during the 2nd semester of the 2020 academic year. Statistical analysis, including the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests, showed significant improvements in the test group’s behavioral problems post-intervention.
