“…Temperamental variation has been proposed by Thomas and Chess as an important contributor to the 'goodness of fit' between child and family. It may well be that temperament is an especially powerful influence when children have other developmental or cognitive delays, a hypothesis consistent with Rutter et al's (1964) observations about children with developmental problems, and with other studies of temperament of retarded children (Chess and Hassibi, 1970;Chess and Korn, 1970).…”

As part of an ongoing longitudinal study of developmental delay (DD), 35 six-yearold children with delays of unknown aetiology were assessed with measures of cognitive, language and educational competence. Their parents provided detailed information about their self-help and personal-social competencies, behaviour problems and temperament. As a group, the DD children evidenced high rates of behaviour problems, but there was considerable within-group variability in intensity and pattern of problems. Low relationships were found between the intensity of behaviour problems and children's chronological age (CA), IQ, language level and self-help competencies. The child variable most strongly associated with behaviour problems was temperament, or behavioural style.

“…In Wallander et al (2002), the majority of participants came from one public school system, with the result that almost the whole sample was low SES, urban African-Americans. Chess and Hassibi (1970;Chess, 1977) reported on children only from middle-class families. Both Eaton and Menolascina (1982) and Szymanski (1977) included only children attending one specific community-based program for children with ID.…”

Children, including adolescents, with intellectual disability (ID) are at higher risk than children without ID for developing psychopathology, a term we use to subsume similar terms such as mental illness or health problems, psychiatric or behavior disorders, and behavior and emotional problems. Psychopathology in children with ID is also more likely to go unrecognized and untreated. Psychopathology may have a major effect on their general well-being, personal independence, school and social functioning, and quality of life, as well as on family and other caregivers. The combination of ID and psychopathology can also give rise to further stigmatization, prejudices, and misunderstandings, which may decrease the likelihood of full integration.

“…First, psychiatric disorders are four to five times more prevalent in children with ID as compared with other children (Chess & Hassibi, 1970;Eaton & Menolascino, 1982;Koller, Richardson, Katz, & McLaren, 1983;Reid, 1972;Rutter, Graham, & Yule, 1970;). Second, within samples of individuals with ID, prevalence estimates of psychopathology vary widely depending on the diagnostic criteria employed (Fraser, Leudar, Gray, & Campbell, 1986), nature of the sample, (community vs. institutional Leudar, Fraser, & Jeeves, 1984;Scanlon, Arick, & Krug, 1982), gender (Koller et al, 1983), age , level of ID (Iverson & Fox, 1989;Koller et al, 1983) and the manner in which the psychiatric evaluation was conducted (Iverson & Fox, 1989).…”
