A total of 108 children who met the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorder, 5th edition criteria for intellectual disability were included in the study. An interviewer administered structured pro-forma was used to investigate the patterns, types, circumstances, and measures of self-injurious behavior in children with intellectual disabilities. Descriptive analysis, student dependent t -test, chi-square test was performed to evaluate the outcomes. Results: Out of 108 children, 58 (53.4%) had self-injurious behavior, with 39 (67.2%) being boys and 19 (32.8%) being girls. Self-hitting and self-biting were reported at higher frequencies, with 45 (41.7%) and 30 (27.8%) occurrences respectively, among all reported self-injurious behaviors.
