Pedagogical Approach of Students with Intellectual Disability and Gender Dysphoria

Gender dysphoria (GD) in adolescents refers to the discomfort expressed due to the incongruence between social and biological gender identity. Scientific research primarily focuses on individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), while studies regarding Intellectual Disability (ID) are limited. The methodology in this research pertains to a case study of a female student with ID and GD. The results highlight deficits in emotional organization skills related to the neurodevelopmental domain. The conclusions emphasize the need for personalized educational programs to help students with ID and GD express their emotions, display interest in learning, and cooperate with school personnel.
