“…There are some studies that specifically address QoL in families with severe to profound intellectual disabilities (Chou, Chiao, & Fu, 2011;Schertz, Karni-Visel, Tamir, Genizi, & Roth, 2016;Weiss, Ting, & Perry, 2016), and the degree of intellectual disabilities seems to play an important role in FQoL as a predictor of family well-being (Chou et al, 2011;Hu, Wang, & Fei, 2012;Wang et al, 2004).…”

Background This study investigated the psychocultural perspectives concerning family quality of life among Brazilian families with children who have severe or profound intellectual disability. Methods Individual in‐depth semi‐structured interviews conducted with 15 mothers, selected by convenience, were analysed using a categorical thematic analysis technique. The themes were examined to allow for an interpretative approach of the results. Results Mothers revealed that their children with disabilities had insufficient access to services and support related to health care, transportation and recreation. Family quality of life was negatively affected by financial restrictions and social interaction difficulties. Caring for a child with disabilities seemed to be centred on the mother and religious coping appeared as a common psychological adjustment strategy. Conclusions Improving emotional and psychological cares, as well as social and practical measures comprising income support and access to appropriate health care, were inferred to be the mothers’ priorities to improve their families’ quality of life.

“…Several authors have found a significant relationship between ID and an increased incidence of behavioural problems (Ahuja, Martin, Langley, & Thapar, ; Embregts, du Bois, & Graef, ; Myrbakk & von Tetzchnner, ; Weiss, Ting, & Perry, ) and anxiety (Reardon, Gray, & Melvin, ). On the other hand, children with ID were found to use illegal drugs at a lower rate than those without disability, but were more vulnerable to problems arising from substance use (Carroll Chapman, & Wu, ).…”

Children and young people with intellectual disability in residential childcare: Prevalence of mental health disorders and therapeutic interventions

et al. 2018

Children with intellectual disability are more likely to suffer abuse and neglect. Therefore, they are over‐represented among children in childcare interventions, particularly in residential childcare. The main goal of this article was to explore the correlates of mental health diseases in a sample of 169 children (6–18 years old) in residential care with intellectual disability compared with a group of 625 children, also in residential care but without disability. Results show that the prevalence of intellectual disability in residential childcare in Spain is about 19%, which is significant due to their special needs. In addition to this disability, they have a higher frequency of clinical problems in the scales of withdrawal‐depression, thought problems, attention problems and, above all, social problems than do their peers in residential care. They are also referred more frequently to therapeutic services, in particular to psychiatric intervention and they receive more pharmacological treatments.

“…Individuals with developmental disabilities frequently require behavioral intervention, with researchers estimating that 48% to 82% of individuals with developmental disabilities exhibit problem behavior (Lecavalier, 2006;Poppes, van der Putten, & Vlaskamp, 2010;Rojahn, Matson, Lott, Esbensen, & Smalls, 2001). More recently, Weiss, Ting, and Perry (2016) found that 40.4% of a sample of children with severe developmental disabilities, including ASD, exhibited serious maladaptive behavior. Common problem behaviors observed in school settings include temper tantrums, arguing, and defiance, with behaviors such as self-injury and refusing to talk occurring in a substantial number of individuals (Lecavalier, 2006).…”

Students with developmental disabilities have been found to exhibit higher rates of problem behavior in the classroom than their typically developing peers. Effectively addressing these students’ behavior concerns requires the identification of interventions that can be implemented in an educational setting. Furthermore, matching intervention strategies to the function of a student's problem behavior may increase its effectiveness. There are data to suggest that students with disabilities exhibit escape‐maintained problem behavior in the classroom twice as frequently as problem behavior maintained by other consequences such as attention or access to tangibles. Thus, the purpose of this systematic review was to identify school‐based intervention strategies that have been used to reduce the disruptive behavior of students with developmental disabilities. In total, 12 articles met search criteria, with escape extinction, curricular modification, and noncontingent escape serving as the most frequently employed intervention strategies. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
