Abstract
Social skills are specific behaviors exhibited by individuals to fulfill roles or duties assigned by society. The difficulties that individuals with intellectual disabilities experience in acquiring social skills make it difficult for these individuals to integrate with society and negatively affect peer interaction. This increases the importance of studies aimed at teaching social skills that have an important place in the independent life of individuals with intellectual disabilities. The aim of this study is to examine the studies designed as the only single subject study of social skills teaching for individuals with intellectual disability, carried out between 2000-2017. This study is designed as a qualitative document analysis. 13 studies have been reached for the individuals with intellectual disabilities, including the published articles in peer-reviewed journals on social skills studies and the graduate and doctoral dissertations published in Turkey. The studies were examined and interpreted in eight categories: characteristics of subjects, dependent variable, independent variable, research design, monitoring, generalization, reliability and social validity data.
