Filter by:This study aims to evaluate an intervention using the Toolkit "Children - what does it involve?" and the "Real-Care-Baby" (RCB) simulator among students with intellectual disability (ID), using a cluster randomized trial design with waiting-list control group.
Intellectual disabled persons faced more dental problems. According to a medical review paper of international and local studies, this group has poorer dental hygiene, more severe gum disease and more untreated caries. In 2010, a report from the guardians in Hong Kong mentioned that most adults with intellectual disability cannot clean their teeth, the have dental problems and it is very difficult for intellectually disabled students to co-operate during the dental treatment. In order to alleviate their dental problems, supervised toothbrushing programme and an oral health education talk are proposed. The investigators investigate the effectiveness of the supervised toothbrushing programme and an oral health education talk. The target group of the study is mild to moderate grade intellectual disabled students of special schools in Hong Kong. A clustered randomised controlled trial design is adopted.
Children with intellectual/developmental disabilities (ID/DD) will experience less dental anxiety and cooperate better in a Sensory Adapted Dental Environment (modified visual, sensory, and somatosensory stimuli in a regular dental setting) than in a regular dental environment (RDE).
The study is an randomised controlled trial (RCT) to test whether supplementation of vitamins, minerals and n-3 fatty acids may reduce aggressive behavior in people with intellectual disabilities.
Loss of functioning and age-related health problems tend to appear earlier in individuals with intellectual disability (ID) than in their non-disabled peers and due to this people with ID who are in employment tend to need to retire earlier, producing social, economic and health problems. The Feldenkrais method (FM) is a movement-based form of learning that enhances body balance and physical functioning. We hypothesized that the FM could be helpful to improve balance and functioning of employed people with ID.
POWERSforID is a 24 week randomized control trial designed to assess the feasibility of a telehealth and coaching intervention for improving health outcomes of adults with intellectual disability. Recruitment is conducted through a disability health clinic located in Colorado Springs, CO.
By integrating sexuality and disability literatures, theories, and research methodologies, this study aims to: 1) contribute to the limited knowledge professionals have of parents as the primary sexuality educators; 2) create a resource for parents in order to be sexuality educators for their young adults with I/DD; and 3) evaluate the effectiveness of the Home B.A.S.E. for Developmental Disabilities Curriculum. In order to meet the objectives the study seeks to answer the following questions: 1. What is the effectiveness of a sexuality education workshop for parents of young adults with DS on improving the self-efficacy and attitudes around sexuality and healthy relationships for young adults with DS as well as increase the parent-child communication on sexuality topics? 2. What are parents' concerns that impact their ability to be the primary sexuality educators for their young adults with DS? It is proposed that parent confidence and comfort talking about sexuality topics with their young adult with Down syndrome will increase thereby increasing the parent-child communication as a result of this study.
The EVAL'ID study aims to demonstrate the value of a multidimensional assessment in accompanying schooling of children with Intellectual Disability. The study will be performed in the Rhône department (France) in children aged from 5 to 13 years with mild to moderate Intellectual Disability , and attending school either at ULIS (Unités Localisées pour l'Inclusion Scolaire, which enables disabled children to attend regular schools), or IME (Instituts Médico-Educatifs, which are special schools mandated to accommodate children and young people with Intellectual Disability at any level of disability). A multidimensional assessment encompasses the assessment of academic, cognitive, behavioral and adaptive skills of the children, with validated and reliable neuropsychological batteries, called ID Kit (Intellectual Deficiency assessment Kit), which includes the following scales : the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children 4th edition (WISC-IV), the Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Scale II, the GECEN rating form (Grille d'Evaluation Comportementale pour Enfants Nisonger, which is the French translation of the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form), and an academic skills rating form (GEVA-SCO). A comparison of the children neuropsychological profiles according to the type of school they attend, will be perform. The project consists of three phases: - Stage 1: Collection of information from each child records at MDPH (Departmental Administration for Disabled Persons), IME, ULIS schools, including the assessments that were performed, and from a survey of both caregivers and parents regarding their respective perception and knowledge of the child's disability - Stage 2: All the children who were not previously assessed with the ID kit will be further evaluated using these tests. The results of these assessments will be shared with parents and caregivers. - Stage 3: A survey regarding the perception and knowledge of the child's disability will be carried out again among caregivers and parents.
The Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project (MDBP) seeks to collect and analyze clinical data and biological samples from leukodystrophy patients worldwide to support ongoing and future research projects. The MDBP is one of the world's largest leukodystrophy biorepositories, having enrolled nearly 2,000 affected individuals since it was launched over a decade ago. Researchers working in the biorepository hope to use these materials to uncover new genetic etiologies for various leukodystrophies, develop biomarkers for use in future clinical trials, and better understand the natural history of these disorders. The knowledge gained from these efforts may help improve the diagnostic tools and treatment options available to patients in the future.
The main objective of this study is to develop and validate a visio-behavioral scale of visual abilities for subjects with profound multiple intellectual disabilities. The secondary objectives of the study are: - to validate the structure of the scale. - to evaluate the reproducibility of scale with the intra- and inter-examiners, and the influence of the different professions of examiners. - to evaluate the feasibility of visio-behavioral scale. - to evaluate the sensitivity to change. - to study the uniformity of use of the scale depending on the type of patients (age, disability level, pathology). - to study the prevalence of the visual disorder in profound multiple intellectual disabilities subjects.
