Such behaviors have led to denial of appropriate services due to these learners and thereby restricting their inclusion in participating in the educational and societal mainstream. This paper therefore presents some of the key factors militating against their exclusion from enjoying the benefits and responsibilities of participating in the educational and societal mainstream and at the same time offers some contemporary educational practices that have improved educational outcomes for learners with intellectual disabilities. The study was carried out in six education zones in Enugu State of Nigeria. It was a descriptive survey study. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The result of the study showed that teachers and parents agreed that learners with intellectual exceptionalities should be provided with social skills to enable them relate effectively with others. For this, appropriate strategies such as practice and repetition should be applied for such children. | | Keywords : | | - hypotheses ,hypotheses ,hypotheses ,hypotheses ,
