다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Nanta-based anger management program on relieving anger and self-expression in children with intellectual disabilities. The study included 12 participants recruited from the P regional children’s center in P city, consisting of 6 children with intellectual disabilities experiencing anger management issues and 6 typically developing children. The program employed a pre- and post-test design, utilizing self-expression and anger expression scales as research tools. A total of 12 weekly sessions, each lasting 60 minutes, were conducted. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with non-parametric statistics. Results suggest that the Nanta-based anger management program effectively reduces anger and improves self-expression abilities in children with intellectual disabilities. These findings underscore the need for tailored assessment tools and programs according to the developmental stages and disability severity in children with intellectual disabilities.
