“…Prior research suggests a selection mechanism whereby healthy adults (as opposed to less healthy) adults with ID are less likely to be moved from family homes to residential accommodation (Woodman et al . ) which would suggest that people with diabetes are more likely to transfer to residential settings. Finally, our findings may reflect a lack of testing for diabetes in family households.…”

Background As people with intellectual disabilities (ID) are now living longer, they are more at risk of developing non‐communicable diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, understanding of factors associated with diabetes for targeted management and prevention strategies is limited. This study aimed to investigate prevalence of diabetes in adults (aged ≥18 years) with ID and its relationship with demographic, lifestyle, independence and health factors. Method This was a cross‐sectional analysis of interview data from 1091 adults with ID from the Leicestershire Learning Disability Register from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2016. Logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with diabetes in the study population. Results The study population did not have healthy lifestyles: just under half reported having lower physical activity levels than people without ID of a similar age; one‐quarter consumed fizzy drinks daily; and 20% consumed five or more fruit and/or vegetables per day. Prevalence of carer/self‐reported diabetes was 7.3% (95% confidence interval 5.9–9.0). After adjustment, diabetes was positively associated with South Asian ethnicity (P = 0.03) and older age groups (P < 0.001). Diabetes was less common in people living with family members (P = 0.02). We did not find a relationship between any of the lifestyle, independence and health factors investigated. Conclusions A significant proportion of people with ID are living with diabetes. Diabetes management and prevention strategies should be tailored to individuals' complex needs and include consideration of lifestyle choices. Such strategies may want to focus on adults of South Asian ethnicity and people living in residential homes where prevalence appears to be higher.

“…Training aids like metronomes 20,21 and popular songs, 22,23 as well as repetitive retraining 24 might be helpful in this sense. Although no prior studies have been carried out to test this hypothesis, having in mind the psychological as well as the learning and training characteristics of DS people, 25 we consider that songs and other fun and focused strategies might improve CC quality and would be welcome by youngsters with DS.…”

“…Recent research supports the use of interventions to improve the independent living skills of students with ASD and ID with the ultimate goal of increasing the likelihood of better adult outcomes (i.e., Klinger et al, 2015;Liss et al, 2001;Taylor & Mailick, 2013;Woodman et al, 2014). Moreover, students with ASD and ID are at risk for becoming reliant on adults around them to complete independent living skills (Giangreco & Broer, 2007), which can lead to dependency on prompting and assistance (Koegel & Egel, 1979).…”

“…For example, Woodman, Mailick, Anderson, and Esbensen (2014) found that individuals with ID who had higher levels of adaptive behavior were more likely to live semi-independently or independently. Also, a recent study by Klinger, Klinger, Mussey, Thomas, and Powell (2015) showed that poor adaptive behavior in individuals with ASD was the strongest predictor of unemployment, social isolation, depression, and lower overall quality of life in adulthood.…”

iii Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID) often have independent living skill deficits. Video modeling (VM) may be one particularly effective intervention to improve skills in this area. However, the most effective and efficient variations have yet to be determined. The researcher conducted a search for studies investigating the effects of VM on the independent living skills of school-aged students with ASD and/or ID. Nineteen single-subject studies and 65 participants were coded according to a number of variables. Results of the review suggested that certain participant characteristics and intervention components were more often associated with increased intervention effectiveness. The researcher discusses possible correlations, shares potential implications for practitioners, and proposes directions for future research. Based on findings of the review, the researcher conducted a single-subject study and results are outlined. Using an adapted alternating treatments design, the researcher investigated the comparative effects of VM plus least-to-most prompting and reinforcement (VM+P&R), continuous video modeling plus least-to-most prompting and reinforcement (CVM+P&R), and least-to-most prompting plus reinforcement alone (P&R) on the independent (2015) showed that poor adaptive behavior in individuals with ASD was the strongest predictor of unemployment, social isolation, depression, and lower overall quality of life in adulthood. THE EFFECTS OF TWO VIDEO MODELING INTERVENTIONS ON THE INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS OF STUDENTS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITYFinally, Taylor and Mailick (2013) found that, over a 10-year period, the educational and vocational activities of individuals with ASD between the ages of 18 and 52 remained at a staggering halt or demonstrated a steady downward trend. More importantly, the authors found a strong correlation between poor independent living skills and a decline in participation of educational and vocational activities (Taylor & Mailick, 2013).Evidence emphasizes the fact that adaptive and independent living skills strongly predict independent living outcomes for adults with disabilities such as ASD and ID. Findings speak to the importance of addressing adaptive behavior and independent living skills in children and adolescents with ASD and ID to better prepare them for the unavoidable transition to adulthood. Improving independent living skills not only benefits individuals with disabilities but also their families.When it comes to best practices for instructing students with ASD and ID, the importance of using systematic instruction cannot be overstated. Systematic instruction is a set of evidence- 4 A fourth practice, task analysis, involves breaking a skill into small, manageable steps and teaching each step to a child in a systematic manner (Cooper et al., 2007). Bennet, Ramasamy, and Honsberger (2013) used a task analysis to teach students to use a folding board to fold T-shirts. Finally, modeling makes ...
