“…Although the prevalence of ID is not the highest among the neurodevelopmental disorders, ID is a chronic disorder that imposes a heavy burden on the family, and is among the top 20 most costly disorders (5,6). The comorbidity or co-occurrence of mental disorders and neurological illness is common in children and adolescents with ID and affects both their clinical progression and the outcomes of interventions (5,(7)(8)(9). The most common co-occurrent mental problems in children are autistic spectrum disorders (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and behavioral and emotional problems, which are significantly related to the development of different domains of adaptive behavior (5,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13).…”

In recent years, digital devices have been progressively introduced in rehabilitation programs and have affected skills training methods used with children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities (ID). The objective of this review is to assess the effects of the use of digital devices on the cognitive functions and behavioral skills in this population, and to acknowledge their potential as a therapeutic tool. Electronic databases were analyzed until February 2020 using search formulas with free terms related to ID and the use of digital systems with children or adolescents. The risk of bias in randomized controlled trials was assessed by means of the modified Cochrane Collaboration tool and the quality level of the non-randomized studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Forty-four studies were analyzed, most of which were categorized as low quality. Of the executive function studies analyzed, 60% reported significant improvements, most commonly related to working memory. Within the cognitive skills, 47% of the studies analyzed reported significant improvements, 30% of them in language. Significant improvements in the social (50%) and behavioral domains (30%) were also reported. These results suggest that digital interventions are effective in improving working memory and academic skills, and positively affect both the social and behavioral domains. Little information has been published regarding the duration of the effects, which could be limited in time. Further research is necessary to assess long-term effectiveness, the influence of comorbidities, and the effects on subjects with severe ID. The inclusion of smartphones and special education centers is also necessary.

“…In the validity and reliability study of the Turkish version, it was suggested to use a composite score formed by average performance in the Porteus Maze test (PMT) and EGY tests 23 . PMT is a nonverbal test of performance intelligence designed to assess intelligence capacity and measure planning and behavioral disinhibition 24 . The test was developed by Porteus and its adaptation was conducted by Togrol for Turkish children 25,26 .…”

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of cases who have applied to a research and training hospital for special needs reports for children. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on the medical records of children and adolescents aged 0 to 18 who applied to the Medical Board of the Şanlurfa Mehmet Akif İnan Training and Research Hospital and underwent psychiatric evaluations between June 2022 and December 2022. Results: The research covered 600 cases, of whom 39% (n=234) were female and 61% (n=366) were male, and the mean age at the time that patients applied to the child psychiatry outpatient clinic was 7.87±4.43. When the child psychiatry diagnoses in the special needs reports were examined, it was found that 78% of the cases (n=468) had at least one psychiatric diagnosis, and 86.3% (n=518) of all patients had no previous psychiatric drug use. The most common psychiatric disorder was Borderline Intellectual Functioning (n=110), followed by Specific Learning Disorder (n=64). Autism Spectrum Disorder was more common in boys whereas Severe Intellectual Disability was significantly more common in girls. There was no significant difference between the 3 different age groups in terms of the frequency of Mild Intellectual Disability, Severe Intellectual Disability, and Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnoses. Conclusion: Psychiatrists and other medical professionals can greatly benefit from knowing the characteristics of children and adolescents who apply to the medical boards for special needs reports in various parts of Turkey. To fully address this matter, further research with larger numbers of samples from various centers are required

“…It is a lifelong condition that requires support from educational, health, and social institutions [2]. It is associated with other conditions such as autism, externalizing disorders, cerebral palsy, and compulsive/epileptic problems [3]. Studies indicate that people with ID are more likely to suffer from physical health problems, age faster [4,5], suffer from any psychiatric disorder [6], and have an increased risk of death [7].…”

Caregivers of people with intellectual disabilities may feel overburdened in their work and experience negative psychological consequences. The purpose of this instrumental study was to determine the evidence of internal structure and reliability of the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview scale. A total of 398 family caregivers, including women and men, participated (M = 47.33, SD = 10.44). The structure of the scale was evaluated by factor analysis and the McDonald Omega coefficient was used to estimate reliability. Sixteen models of the scale were tested, differing in number of items and factor structures. A model of 15 items and 4 dimensions (overload, competence, social relationship, and interpersonal relationship) obtained acceptable fit (χ2 = 184.72; p < 0.001; CFI = 0.95; TLI = 0.94; RMSEA = 0.055; SRMR = 0.05) and reliability coefficients above 0.70 in their dimensions. It is concluded that the Zarit scale is valid and reliable for use in caregivers of people with intellectual disabilities.
