Abstract

The present investigation consisted of the development of self-care skills in students with intellectual disabilities, due to the difficulties they present at the time of performing basic self-care activities such as clothing, eating, and grooming. The main objective of the research was to propose didactic material for the development of self-care skills in children with intellectual disabilities of the Seventh “B” of the Agustín Cueva Tamariz Educational Unit. This work was prepared based on a methodology with a qualitative, descriptive approach, which means, it has been developed with the bibliographic compilation of other academic documents made prior to this document. The instruments used to obtain data were the Initial Evaluation Guide for the students, the interview with the teacher, and the bibliographic review of previous works. The results of this research showed the difficulties that students present in terms of managing basic self-care skills. According to the analysis carried out, it is concluded that the development of self-care skills allows the autonomy and independence of students and, on the other hand, the importance of institutional, teacher and parents support that they have in front of these children is highlighted.
