“…Items for inclusion in the CAIDS-Q were selected based on the following criteria: items which had been identified in previous research as being possible indicators of intellectual disability, for example ability to tell the time (Sharp, Murray, McKenzie, Quigley, & Patrick, 2001); items which were likely to be indicative of intellectual disability in childhood, such as educational support (Burton, 1997); items which had been found to have good sensitivity and specificity in the adult version of the screening tool (LDSQ: McKenzie & Paxton, 2006) and which appeared to be equally applicable for children e.g. literacy skills; items which were reflected in validated measures of adaptive functioning (e.g.…”

Background: Outcomes for people with an intellectual disability (ID) may differ depending on the severity of the condition. This study evaluated whether a screening tool could give an early indication of severity, in order to help inform future support needs. Methods: ROC analysis was used to examine how well the Learning Disability ScreeningQuestionnaire (LDSQ) could classify individuals (n=238) in terms of severity of intellectual impairment.Results: Mean LDSQ scores increased across diagnostic categories from 'severe impairment' to 'no ID' as expected. The optimal cut-points estimated based on the ROC surface and Youden Index provided correct classification probabilities for the severe, significant and non-ID groups of 0.55, 0.50 and 0.86, and 0.80, 0.32 and 0.84 respectively.Conclusions: While the LDSQ can accurately discriminate between those with and without intellectual disability, results indicated that it may not accurately classify individuals in terms of severity of intellectual impairment.

“…The Learning Disability Screening Questionnaire (LDSQ; McKenzie & Paxton, 2006) was designed as a brief screening tool to identify adults who are likely to have an ID. Developed in the United Kingdom (where ''learning disability'' is the commonly used terminology to refer to people with ID), the LDSQ is now used internationally in countries across Europe, as well as Canada, the United States, and Australia.…”

The Learning Disability Screening Questionnaire (LDSQ), a brief screening tool for intellectual disability, was originally validated against the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale, Third Edition (WAIS-III), which was superseded by the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale, Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) in the United Kingdom in 2010. This study examines the performance of the LDSQ using the WAIS-IV as the diagnostic intellectual assessment. Based on the original optimal cut-off score, the LDSQ sensitivity value was equivalent (91%) to that obtained in the original validation study, and the specificity value was higher at 92%. This suggests that the LDSQ remains valid when using the WAIS-IV as the comparative intellectual assessment.
