Zusammenfassung:Introduction: People with intellectual disabilities require special attention for their care in all stages of their life, but, educational healthcare programs do not cover these needs. Objective: Assess the health of people with intellectual disabilities through the Roy Adaptation Model. Methodology: Non-experimental, cross-sectional descriptive quantitative study which evaluated 16 people with Intellectual Disability with an assessment guide based on the Roy Adaptation Model. Results: Within the physiological realm, the basic needs mainly affected were: nutrition, activity-rest, protection and to a lesser extent of affectation, the organs of senses and intestinal elimination. No evidence existed that the participants had their complete immunization, 62.5% presented dental plaque of over 30%, 75% presented poor eating habits, 43.7% had an inadequate body mass index, 25% referred to similar symptoms in regards to intestinal elimination, 31.2% develop inadequate physical activity, more than 50% needed help on self-care activities, 37.5% had problems with visual acuity, and 84.6% did not possess adequate knowledge in regards to prevention of accidents. Conclusions: Upon getting to know the health problems present within people with this disability, it is now fundamental to create specific care strategies according to their needs and provide them with quality attention focusing on looking for the measures that compensate the deficiency of trained personnel within this environment.
