Social Behavior in Children of Special Olympics and Non-sporty Children with Intellectual Disability

Original language description

Introduction: There is a lack of longitudinal research in the field of social behavior in children with intellectual disability (ID). The first goal of the research was to find out and compare the social behavior of children who regularly participate in Special Olympics (SO) competitions with non-sporty children. The second goal was to show the trend in the development of children’s social behavior and to find out whether summer vacations have any effect on children’s behavior. Methods : The Reiss Screen Behavior questionnaire was used to determine social behavior. Participants were children with ID aged 6–20 years. A total of 4 measurements were performed over a two year period (the number of children in SO was n = 14, n = 18, n = 18, n = 13 and the number of non-sporty children was n = 42, n = 40, n = 39, n = 40). Results: Children in SO have better social behavior by 10 % compared to non-sporty children. The trend of development in social behavior is unbalanced among children in SO, and summer vacations cause improvements in their behavior. Non-sporty children have a convex trend in social behavior and summer vacations have no effect on their behavior. Conclusion: In children of SO, social behavior differs by 3 % from the norm of ideal social behavior. In non-sporty children, social behavior differs by 13 % from the norm. Sport in children with ID leads to fair play and improves social behavior. Overall, the behavior of children with ID is very good in the Czech Republic, as it differs very little from the norm of ideal social behavior.
