Efficacy of a socioemotional learning programme in a sample of children with intellectual disability

This study aims to analyse the impact of a SEL programme among children with intellectual disability. Two groups were established, control and experimental, and the Test of Emotion Comprehension (TEC) (Test of emotion comprehension – TEC, 2000; Les émotions à l'école, émotions et apprentissage, 2004) was applied to both as pre‐ and post‐test. The programme was implemented in the experimental group, based on simply illustrated stories alluding the basic emotions. The findings suggest that the programme is effective in the development of socioemotional competences (SEC) in subjects with intellectual disabilities, evidencing the positive effects that the intervention programme had with the experimental group.
