This article summarizes existing research on adaptive behaviour in children with intellectual disabilities in China in an effort to assess current research findings. It includes the concept, measurement, characteristics of development and factors influencing adaptive behaviour in these children. Based on the literature, this article concludes with a discussion of several topics that need to be addressed in future studies, such as developing assessment instruments suitable for Chinese individuals, exploring more in depth the influential factors and internal mechanisms of adaptive behaviour, as well as strengthening the research on intervention and integrating different study methods.
