“…The types of interventions included the following: a sports training programme to examine social bonding (Bota et al, ), a longitudinal cohort study monitoring participation in daytime activity (Gray et al, ) and a coaching package on task engagement and social interactions (Gilson & Carter, ). In addition, a training module for developing social competence (Iconaru & Ciucurel, ), studies using digital platforms, for example email use, a home‐based social media intervention, video‐based instruction to increase social network and task engagement (Cihak et al, ; Davies et al, ; Gibson & Carter, ; Raghavendra, Newman, Grace, & Wood, ; Walsh, Holloway, & Lydon, ), a dog‐walking programme to gain confidence to engage socially (Bould, Bigby, Bennett, & Howell, ), and a community employment and education programme (Schneider & Hattie, ). Others included the following: a research project named GO4KIDDS (Great Outcomes for Kids Impacted by Severe Developmental Disabilities) that examined the social participation and friendships among kids (Taheri, Perry, & Minnes, ), a structured supported social group (Wilson et al, ), a peer‐supported intervention including a randomized control trial (RCT) (Asmus et al, , ) and a social skills programme to improve employment‐related social competence (Walsh et al, ).…”

Background Social inclusion is regarded as an important determinant of health, particularly for young adults with intellectual disabilities. However, only a limited number of reviews report on the findings of original empirical studies on social inclusion of young adults with intellectual disabilities. This review provides a succinct synopsis of original empirical studies on social inclusion among young adults with intellectual disabilities for the period between January 2013 and January 2019. Methods Studies were drawn from three electronic databases: ScienceDirect, PubMed and PsycINFO. In addition, hand searches were carried out in several international journals focusing on intellectual disability research. The review included both qualitative and quantitative studies. In all, 24 key studies met the inclusion criteria for this review. The Methodological Quality Checklist developed by Downs and Black (Journal of Epidemiology Community Health, 1998, 52, 377) was used to independently assess study quality, and the Cochrane Collaboration Intervention Clinical Appraisal Form was used to extract data and outcome measures for each study. Results Among the key findings, structured and organized social inclusion interventions were reported to create better opportunities to engage in social interactions and improve social skills. Moreover, evaluating outcomes on the two core quality‐of‐life domains, that of interpersonal relationships and community participation, were reported to facilitate positive outcomes for social inclusion of young adults with intellectual disabilities. Conclusion There is a need to do an in‐depth exploration of the potential impact of facilitators that promote social inclusion of young adults with intellectual disabilities, by conducting rigorous empirical investigations.

The instrument validation is carried out by media experts, design, and instructional materials. The results of the feasibility of this development that digital instruction based on expert validation has an average score of 92%, which means that the product is produced to be used. The effectiveness of results based on field trials with pre and post test results has increased by 1.5 units, meaning that this product is effective in improving skills. Based on validation and effectiveness test, digital instruction was very effective as a guide in learning Wushu. Digital instruction is a support for the training instructional process so that they can develop appropriate and innovative instructional media to facilitate trainees who participated. The impact of this study is that an innovative instruction can effectively improve skills of Wushu trainees.

Children with intellectual disabilities are deprived of the early childhood psychological endowment and therefore require that, through a systematic education, to resume and complete the acquisition of the psychomotor skills. Our study approaches the development and implementation, in the context of the inclusive education system, of a series of multimedia activities, which is oriented towards the development of the autonomy and personal independence, creativity and imagination, self-confidence, communication skills and social interaction as an alternative form of education and development in different aspects (physical, mental and social). The pilot study was conducted with a group of 15 pupils aged between 11-14 years old, integrated in the special educational system. The children come from different social backgrounds and therefore they are easily exposed to social exclusion, to bullying or to poor participation in urban social life. Evaluation methods and techniques (balance and coordination tests, cardiorespiratory functional tests and ADL screening tests) were used to determine the functional capacity of the children, their skills and limitations. In term of results, we observed the development of the autonomy and personal independence, creativity and imagination, a greater self-confidence and capacity of social interaction and improved communication skills of the children with special educational needs. In conclusion, video exercises contribute not only to the development of the functional and motor skills, but also to the recognition and acceptance of the unique characteristics of every individual and therefore, to the exploitation of new and innovative resources, in order to achieve the true potential of these children.
