However, no comprehensive review of the literature related to behaviour analytic interventions for children with intellectual disability (ID) currently exists.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta\u2010Analyses guidelines (registration ID: CRD42018099317), the purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the relevant published literature on the use of behaviour analytic interventions to develop skills in young children (0\u20138\u00a0years) with ID (and without ASD). A preliminary search of the literature identified 1209 potential studies published between January 2000 and April 2020. The review process resulted in 48 articles consisting of 49 studies (i.e. one paper contained two studies) that met the inclusion criteria. Most used single\u2010case research designs. Studies were evaluated on five dimensions of methodological quality based on the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">Scientific Merit Rating Scale<\/jats:styled-content> developed by the National Autism Center (NAC). The NAC definitions were also used for the quantity and quality of research evidence required for interventions to be considered <jats:italic>established<\/jats:italic> or <jats:italic>emerging<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were a number of limitations to the quality of the body of research.
