Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare pro-social skills of adaptive behavior functioning levels of children with ID before and after the sport socialization intervention programme in Kakamega County, Kenya. Methodology: This Study used Single Subject Research Design (SSRD) replicated across 8 subjects. Purposive sampling was used to get the study sample of 8 children with ID (4 Boys and 4 Girls) and 24 typically developing (TD) peers from Kakamega County. Data was collected at 3point intervals: baseline of two weeks with non –intervention, treatment of six weeks, and post –intervention for four weeks. Instruments of data collection was the Adaptive Behavior Scale (ABS) checklist by Achenbach (2000) . data was subjected to SAT/ETS software. Descriptive statistics and Statistical Process Control (SPC) was used to analyze data for each subject. Result sport socialization intervention programme was effective in enhancing pro-social skills of adaptive behavior functioning levels of children with YAMY3 standard deviation of MR score at 3.17, 2.53 for YAKS 4, 2.28 for YAKS 5, 2.59 for YAKS 6, 3.17 for YARO 7, 2.34 for YARO8 and 2.34 for YARO 9. Conclusion and recommendations: the intervention improved Pro-social skills of adaptive behavior functioning of the children. Sport-based interventions should be encouraged as part of treatment therapy in the management of adaptive behavior mul-functioning levels among children with ID as ABS has long-term social behavior outcomes for these children .This Study contributes to the conference theme in line with SDG 4 and promotion of inclusion at all levels
Key Words: Intellectual disability, Socialization, Sport, adaptive behavior, typically developing.
