Abstract

Educational policies aimed at school inclusion have led to increased enrollment of students with special education needs in mainstream schools. As a result, there is an increase in problems and challenges that children face while studying at school. The article aims to highlight some of the difficulties and challenges that elementary school children with intellectual disorder face while studying in a mainstream school. In this study, we have conducted a literature review that examines the level of development of higher mental functions in children with intellectual development problems: attention, perception, thinking, memory, speech.
