The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the group game play therapy program changes the sociality of children with intellectual disabilities. The subjects of this study were 3 children in grades 1 and 2 who were diagnosed with intellectual disability using the K center located in D city. The group game play therapy program was conducted twice a week for a total of 12 sessions for 6 weeks. In order to find out the change in sociality, the sociality scale was measured and compared before and after. In order to examine the changes in children's social behavior, the changes in social behaviors of children with intellectual disabilities within the group were measured every 10 sessions except for the 1st and 12th sessions of the group game play therapy program. The results of this study are as follows. First, the group game play therapy program improved the sociality scale scores of children with intellectual disabilities. Second, the group game play therapy program increased the number of occurrences of social behavior in children with intellectual disabilities. This study suggests the usefulness of the group game play therapy program in showing positive changes in the sociality of children with intellectual disabilities. However, as a small case experimental study targeting three children with intellectual disabilities, there is a limit of generalizing the research results.
