<![CDATA[Children with intellectual disabilities often experience unfair treatment due to the social stigma imposed on them by society. Society often gives negative labels such as "stupid", "incapable", and "family curse". In this study, we summarize ten national and international journals to see how the stigma is formed, spreads, and affects the lives of children and their families. Through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, it was found that stigma often arises due to a lack of understanding and direct interaction between society and children with special needs. This writing is a form of reflection that every child has the right to a safe growing space, acceptance by their environment, and to be loved. It is hoped that this study can be a small step towards building a better understanding in society, so that children with intellectual disabilities can live without negative labels and stigmas and can develop according to their potential.]]>
