“…To the extent possible, all participants answered questions for themselves although they could designate a proxy to assist. Prior work suggested that most participants with mild and moderate developmental disabilities would be able and interested in answering for themselves (McCallion et al, 2013).…”

“…There are reports that adults with developmental disabilities as compared to the general population are more likely to lead sedentary lifestyles (McGuire, Daly, & Smyth, 2007), have nutritionally poor diets (Ewing, McDermott, Thomas-Koger, Whitner, & Pierce, 2004; Humphries, Traci, & Seekins, 2008), participate less in physical activity (Temple & Walkley, 2003), and are less likely to have benefited from preventive health screening and health promotion (Bigby, McCallion, & McCarron, 2014; McCarron et al, 2011). Increased potential for diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and arthritis late in life (Bigby et al, 2014; Evenhuis et al, 2001; McCallion, Swinburne, Burke, McGlinchey, & McCarron, 2013; McCallion et al, 2017) may be ameliorated if interventions target these modifiable factors.…”

Objective: The study was to test the feasibility of supplementary materials (DD-CDSMP) supporting people with developmental disabilities who are aging to participate in the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP). CDSMP is a six-session group intervention designed to increase self-management of chronic health conditions. Method: Supplementary materials were utilized within two CDSMP workshops. Each workshop involved seven to nine persons with developmental disabilities and five to seven staff. Supplementary materials to the existing intervention manual were reviewed using a framework for modifications and adaptions for evidence-based interventions. Process interviews with leaders and participants, pre- and posttests on self-management activity and satisfaction surveys assessed outcomes and feasibility. Results: Classes were successfully held with a 70% completer rate, and all materials proved useful. Discussion: People with developmental disabilities as they age tend to have more comorbid conditions than the general population. Developing and implementing materials and strategies to making self-management more accessible to people with developmental disabilities in mainstream rather than segregated settings will improve the quality of people’s lives.

“…In addition, there are data emerging of different patterns and combinations of morbidities, less focus on preventive interventions, and inattention to population health among people with intellectual disability. Taken together the utilization data particularly suggest a lack of preparedness for people with intellectual disability in general population health delivery (10).…”

Background: People with intellectual disability, have been shown to become high and frequent users of primary health care services—both general population health professionals and intellectual disability specialists. Aim: The aim of this paper has been to assess differences of Health and Safety Activities children with intellectual disabilities on the Supports Intensity Scale-Children’s Version and to confirm assumptions that support needs are confounded with age, IQ andgender.Methods:The sample included 377 children with intellectual disabilities in Bosnia and Herzegovina aged 5-16. Most respondents also had the presence of other, concurrent conditions and disorders. Using IQ, the sample was equalized to the level of intellectual functioning, and this data was obtained from the findings and opinions of the Commission for the Categorization of Children with Special Needs.Results:It was found at the multivariate level there are statistically significant differences between respondents of different ages and IQ in values of type, frequency and time of duration of support. No significant differences between boys and girls were identified at the multivariate level. Healthcare professionals and intellectual disability specialists must work as a team to guarantee any person with intellectual disability possibility to come as close as possible to the standard levels of well-being and health-related quality of life of the general population.

“…Recent findings of different morbidity patterns, higher rates of mental health issues and polypharmacy, and low levels of preventive health/health promotion strategies (McCal‐lion et al . ,b; McCarron et al . ) all point to continuing reasons for differential survival for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities but greater investigation is needed.…”
