Abstract	The issue of pain warrants attention as, by virtue of having an intellectual disability, a person may have associated medical or physical conditions and associated factors increasing their risk of pain disorders. People with intellectual disability experiencing pain need to be provided with the best possible care. The focus of this article is on the exploration of pain: physiology and types; manifestations and responses in the context of intellectual disability in order to promote effective, knowledgeable assessment and management of pain for this client group. Pain is a subjective, complex, physiological and psychological phenomenon that can be acute or chronic and may be classified according to its cause. Within the experience of pain, the concept of total pain describes the physical, psychological, social and spiritual factors that influence the experience of pain. (As Provided).
