Rééducation des compétences socio-émotionnelles pour des adultes présentant une déficience intellectuelle

Conclusion Par conséquent, cette recherche démontre que l’amélioration des compétences de la population étudiée ne se limite pas au traitement des informations socio-émotionnelles mais se généralise dans son fonctionnement quotidien. Introduction The aim of the present study was to improve socio-emotional skills in adults with intellectual disability (ID) in order to remediate their social behavior difficulties. Method The socio-emotional skills reeducation program (Barisnikov, 2007) was proposed to 17 ID adults. Participants’ socio-emotional skills were assessed in pre- and post-reeducation period using tasks from the “Socio-Cognitive and Emotional Battery” (Barisnikov & Hippolyte, 2011). Results Post-reeducation assessment showed that the performance of participants was significantly improved on both “Emotion Attribution Task” and “Social Resolution task”. The significant reduction in their behavioral problems was also observed. These results demonstrated that the improvements were not limited to participants’ socio-emotional processing abilities but were also generalized to their daily functioning. Conclusion The program provides an interesting tool to improve socio-emotional processing abilities and social behavior in adults with ID.
