Clinical Problems and Future Directions of the Intellectual Disability Determination Procedure in the Disabled Registration Process

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the suitability of the decision procedure for intellectual disability after the abolition of the disability grading system and suitability of the diagnosis tools used. Results: As a result of the study, first, it was found that domestic and foreign intellectual disability determination procedures are moving from a medical approach to a social approach. Second, in order to perform the intellectual disability determination process fairly and accurately, there should be a comprehensive and integrated information collection process rather than relying on several test tools. Therefore, in the future, more useful, measurably reliable and valid intellectual disability determination tools should be developed, and useful methods and test tools that can contribute to the establishment of personal support plans for students with intellectual disabilities are needed. Conclusion: the limitations of this study and the direction of follow-up studies are presented.
