This study examined the efficacy of the two techniques-modelling and contingency management in the enhancement of daily living skills of pupils with moderate intellectual disability in Ibadan, Nigeria. A pretest, posttest, quasi-experimental research design was used in the study, 276 Basic 2-5 pupils of six special schools were purposively selected as sample based on their peculiar intellectual deficit and maladaptive behaviour. Two validated research instruments viz: Weschsler Intelligence Scale-Revised (Wisc-R) and Daily Living Skills Checklist (DLSC) were used to collected data from the respondents. The three hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The results obtained indicated that there is a significant main effect on the variation in the respondents scores in daily living skills, (F(1:266) = 653.64; P < 0.05), intellectual ability of the participants has significant main effect on the results obtained from testing hypothesis 2. (F(1:266) = 2.64; P > .05). Also, Gender was found not to have any significant main effect in daily living skills improvement of the participant Pupils. Modelling and Contingency management techniques were effective in enhancing daily living skills of pupils with moderate intellectual disability. Special education teachers, curriculum planners, researchers and pupils would find the two techniques useful in the enhancement of daily living skills of pupils with moderate intellectual disability.
