The results revealed that adolescents with intellectual disabilities' perception of their life skills in all areas (independent living, personal money management, community involvement and usage, leisure activities, health, and social/interpersonal relationships) was significantly lower compared to adolescents with other disabilities. In four out of the six sub-scales, female respondents reported that their competence level in life skills was lower compared to males. In addition, adolescents with disabilities in daycare centers stated that they could establish better social and personal relationships when compared to adolescents from other schools.
