“…Affective disorders could be seen across several levels of ED (Lytochkin et al 2021). Furthermore, no association of the level of ED and epilepsy could be seen in two different samples (Pena-Salazar et al 2021;Sterkenburg et al 2022).…”

“…In this study, affective disorders were not associated with lower levels of ED. Sterkenburg et al (2022) examined the effects of physical and sensory impairments on emotional functioning. Interestingly, movement disorders were associated with more severe ID and lower levels of ED on the overall level and on certain domains (others, body, material and communication).…”

BackgroundIntellectual disability (ID) is often associated with delays in emotional development (ED). The Scale of Emotional Development – Short (SED‐S) was developed to assess the level of ED and to adapt treatment and care accordingly.MethodsIn a sample of 724 adults from five study sites in three countries, a confirmatory factor analysis with a one‐factor model was conducted on the entire dataset as well as in different subgroups. Furthermore, internal consistency was investigated using Cronbach's alpha.ResultsThe confirmatory factor analysis indicated that a single‐factor model fits the SED‐S data well. The subgroup analyses revealed good model fit, regardless of the severity of ID and irrespective of sex or the presence of autism spectrum disorder or psychiatric disorders. Internal consistency was excellent for the entire sample (Cronbach's alpha = 0.93) and various subgroups (0.869–0.938).ConclusionThe results of this study suggest that the SED‐S is psychometrically sound and can be used to assess the level of ED in adults with ID.

BackgroundDifferent instruments were devised for assessing emotional development (ED) level in persons with an intellectual disability (ID), that is, the Scale of Emotional Development – Short (SED‐S), the Scheme for Appraisal of Emotional Development (SAED), the Scale for Emotional Development – Second Revision (SED‐R2) and the Schaal voor Emotionele Ontwikkeling – Lukas (SEO‐Lukas). The aim of this study was to compare the level of emotional functioning as assessed with the SED‐S with the SAED, SED‐R2 and SEO‐Lukas.MethodsEmotional development was measured in adults with ID with the SED‐S (N = 186) and the SAED (n = 85), the SED‐R2 (n = 50) and the SEO‐Lukas (n = 51). Correlation analysis and Cohen's kappas were calculated between the SED‐S and the three respective scales. Internal consistencies (Cronbach's alpha) of the four scales were determined.ResultsThe SED‐S results correlated most with the SEO‐Lukas (γ = 1; кω = 0.936) followed by the SAED (γ = 0.809; кω = 0.343) and least by the SED‐R2 (γ = 0.665; кω = 0.182). The stage of ED assessed with the SED‐S was lower than the ED results measured with the SAED, but higher than with the SED‐R2 and most similar to the SEO‐Lukas. Cronbach's alphas were high, ranging from 0.853 to 0.975.ConclusionsGiven the respective differences between the scales, the SED‐S may equalise the results as compared with previous versions.

Background Children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities (IDs) are at risk of falls due to balance problems. One way to palliate balance deficits among this population is via core stability exercises. However, comprehensive studies that examine the effectiveness of core stability exercises in improving balance in this target population are lacking. Objective This study aims to summarise and quantify the effectiveness of core stability exercises in improving the balance of this target population. Methods This study followed PRISMA principles and conducted comprehensive searches in six academic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library) up to June 2023. The inclusion criteria were established via the PICOS framework. The risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool, and the certainty of the evidence was assessed via the GRADE approach. The meta-analysis was performed via RevMan 5.4, and for data that could not be pooled via meta-analysis, we used a narrative description of the results of each study. Results Six studies of 1078 subjects were included. The findings revealed that core stability exercises improved the dynamic balance of children and adolescents with ID but had no significant effect on static (Hedges’ g = 1.32, 95% CI [-0.41 to 3.06]) or static‒dynamic (Hedges’ g = 1.35, 95% CI [-0.02 to 2.73]) balance compared with the control groups. The quality of evidence based on the GRADE approach was very low. Conclusions Core stability exercises may improve dynamic balance in children and adolescents with ID, but given the scarcity of studies included, definitive conclusions cannot yet be drawn. Although pooled analyses also highlighted improvements in static and static–dynamic balance with large effect sizes over active control groups, the results were not statistically significant and should be interpreted with caution given the wide confidence intervals. The heterogeneity among the identified studies and the limited number of eligible studies may reduce the reliability of the results, but these findings emphasise the need for additional research in this domain.
