The current study documents key contributions in teaching students with intellectual disabilities using an integrative STEAM approach. This study aimed to understand the role of technology and arts-based methodologies in improving adaptive behavior skills for students with intellectual disabilities. The researcher used descriptive analytical methods to review, analyze, compare, and interpret related theories and literature. The study highlights how technology and arts-based approaches enhance adaptive skills and support development in self-care, mobility, educational skills, independence, performance, and community integration for these students. The promising finding is that an integrative STEAM approach, incorporating technology and arts-based learning, improves adaptive behavior skills for students with intellectual disabilities. Based on the results, the researcher recommends that the Ministry of Education provide guidance, counseling, seminars, and workshops for teachers on using assistive technology and arts-based methodologies due to their importance in rehabilitating and educating individuals with intellectual disabilities.
