Older people fall at least once a year, resulting in many devastating complications that affect the older person and the carers. Many carers are concerned that the older person will fall. Three hundred ninety carers of an older person participate in this study. The study found that the carers have a high level of fall concern. The level of concern was significantly associated with the demographic variables of the older person and the level of depression, stress, anxiety, and strain. Hence, there is a dire need for a fall prevention programme and educational program for the carers. Keywords: fall; carers; fall concerns; elderly. eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2022. The Authors.

Children with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) often have issues performing their activities of daily living (ADL) due to difficulty learning new skills. This scoping review was conducted to identify the behavioural techniques that can help in improving the ADL among children with ID. Six databases were used to search articles using behavioural techniques from 2000 to 2020 using the related searching terms and based on the inclusion criteria. Thirty articles met the inclusion criteria that highlighted the behavioural techniques and the trend of techniques to improve ADL among children with ID. Keywords: Scoping review; behaviour techniques; intellectual disabilities. eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2022. The Authors. Published for AMER ABRA cE-Bs by e-International Publishing House, Ltd., UK.
