U radu je tretiran problem socijalnog i emocionalnog funkcionisanja dece sa lakom intelektualnom ometenošću u uslovima njihove standardne situacije edukacije. Obuhvaćena su 124 ispitanika sa lakom intelektualnom ometenošću, oba pola, kalendarskog uzrasta od 8 do 13,5 godina osnovnih škola u Beogradu. Za procenu ponašanja primenjena je Conners skala procene ponašanja (Conners, K., 1969, 1999) koja daje uvid u najfrekventnije i najučestalije tipove emocionalnih i bihevioralnih smetnji kod dece sa različitim razvojnim smetnjama. Rezultatima je ukazano na prisustvo različitih tipova socijalno-emocionalnih smetnji i poremećaja koji zahtevaju primenu multimodalno orijentisanog pristupa kao osnove tretmana uočenih problema u ovoj populaciji.
