“…Children and adolescents with varying degrees of intellectual impairment may be less able to refiect on their emotional and/or behavioral functioning compared with adults, because of the combination of developmental immaturity and cognitive limitations present in this population (Wallander, Dekker, & Koot, 2003). To date, however, no studies have investigated the role of education or intelligence on informant agreement, even though such variables likely impact the ability to reliably comprehend and complete self-report measures of psychopathology.…”

A well-documented finding in developmental psychopathology research is that different informants often provide discrepant ratings of a youth's internalizing and externalizing problems. The current study examines youth- and parent-based moderators (i.e., youth age, gender, and IQ; type of psychopathology; offense category; psychopathic traits; parental education, income, and stress) of informant discrepancies in a sample of young offenders and compares the utility of youth and caregiver reports against relevant clinical outcomes. Results indicate that gender moderated the discrepancy between informant reports of somatic complaints, while parenting stress moderated the discrepancies across reports of internalizing and externalizing psychopathology. Variables unique to the forensic context (e.g., offense category) were found to moderate cross-informant discrepancies in reports of internalizing and externalizing psychopathology. Further, youth self-reports of internalizing symptoms predicted a clinician-generated diagnosis of a mood disorder, while caregiver reports of aggressive behaviors predicted the presence of an externalizing diagnosis. Results highlight the importance of assessing informant agreement in the context of forensic assessment and raise questions surrounding the optimal use of informant data in this setting.

“…Other researchers have focused on the effects of client characteristics such as cognitive skills, psychological problems, and psychiatric illness on social interactions (Bromley & Emerson, 1993;Emerson, 2003;van Nieuwenhuijzen et al, 2006;Wallander, Dekker, & Koot, 2003). These researchers have tended to emphasise the abilities of the people with an ID or the competencies of staff (Dagnan, Chadwick, & Proudlove, 2000).…”

Background Client-centred models of care emphasise the importance of collaborative working between staff and clients with an intellectual disability (ID). How people with an ID perceive the nature of their engagement with staff is relatively unknown. This study investigated the perceptions of staff and people with an ID about the goals for their meetings and what aspects of the meetings they viewed as important. Method Interviews were carried out with 9 client-staff dyads. Prior to their meeting, staff and clients were asked about their expectations. Afterwards, both parties were asked about what they believed happened during the interaction. The participants' answers were subjected to a thematic analysis. Results People with an ID appreciated the opportunity to tell their story and valued reliable, practical support and advice. A trusting relationship was important to both clients and staff. Only staff viewed promoting clients' autonomy as important. Conclusion Staff and people with an ID appear to differ in their expectations and perceptions regarding regular support meetings.
