Purpose The purpose of the study is to determine the injury risk behaviors and home safety measures in children with an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder. Method The study sample included mothers of 100 children between the ages of 2 and 12 years. Findings There was a significant difference between the home safety measures and the children's ages, the birth order of the children, and the mother's and father's ages. There was not a significant relationship between the children's ages, diagnosis, and Injury Behavior Checklist ( IBC ). There is a positive correlation between the total score of the Home Safety Measures Control List and IBC .
