Abstract
This study aims to explore the ways in which physical touch can be a professional tool for spiritual caretakers who work with people with an intellectual disability, which is a neglected research area. Through an interdisciplinary lens, it examines the nuanced ways in which physical touch can enhance the practice of spiritual care for people with an intellectual disability, while also acknowledging the challenges and ethical considerations associated. By shedding light on this underexplored research area, the research aims to contribute to improving spiritual care for people with an intellectual disability.
