Unleashing Potential: Empowering Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities through Effective Counseling

Yuleinys A Castillo

Abstract


Counselors play a crucial role in understanding the unique personal and social needs of individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID). This review explores how various factors—including family dynamics, school environment, and societal stigma—influence assessment, diagnosis, and interventions. Emphasis is placed on strengths-based, family-centered, and early intervention approaches to empower children and adolescents with ID. Understanding the intersecting roles of caregivers, educational institutions, and social systems can enhance service delivery and promote inclusion. Counselors can help individuals with ID become active, contributing members of society through supportive, collaborative, and evidence-based practices.
