Dental and oral health issues are among the areas often neglected, primarily due to limited motor skills and insufficient parental supervision in dental care. The aim of this literature review is to analyze the relationship between family support and the independence of children with intellectual disabilities in maintaining oral hygiene at home. This study employs a literature review method to identify factors influencing dental and oral health in children with intellectual disabilities. The literature for this study was obtained from reputable databases such as Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed, with sources published within the last five years (2020–2025). The article selection process was conducted systematically using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach to ensure transparency and accuracy. A total of ten research articles met the inclusion criteria for this review. All ten studies demonstrated a strong positive correlation between parental involvement and the oral hygiene status of children with special needs. Parent training programs were found to have a statistically significant impact on improving dental hygiene among children with autism. These findings highlight the need for continuous education and support for caregivers and parents in maintaining oral health in individuals with intellectual disabilities.","PeriodicalId":29997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Informatics","volume":"2 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ejournal.sciencecentergroup.com/index.php/JCNPC/article/download/99/80","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147900344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the question this study takes up. To do so, this study analyzes the digital paper trail of residents of the Cabrini-Green public-housing complex in Chicago, Illinois, as the complex fell siege to policy decisions to demolish it. My analysis shows that these residents’ rhetoric defied limited conceptions of an enclave. Specifically, I argue that by building a network of interconnected coalitions and by using its enclave position as a point of publicity, this group’s rhetorical work complicates scholarship on how groups with little citizenship status might vie for public accountability to them as agents recognized for their rhetorical leverage.","PeriodicalId":29997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Informatics","volume":"1 1","pages":"47-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://journals.psu.edu/reflections/article/download/63661/62513","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147908668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
