Download or read book Development and Validation of the Accommodations and Impact Scale for Developmental Disabilities written by Manisha D. Udhnani and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lives of caregivers are deeply impacted by having a child with a developmental disability. To offset some of those impacts, caregivers may engage in accommodations, aiming to support the needs of their child. These accommodations and impacts fluctuate as the needs of their child change and can cumulatively affect the quality of life and well-being of caregivers. Despite this, they are not often captured during assessment of family needs or treatment planning. Thus, it is important to have a scale that can be used to evaluate how to support families of children with developmental concerns. In the current study, the Accommodations & Impact Scale for Developmental Disabilities (AISDD) was developed and evaluated for its psychometric properties. The AISDD is a 19-item questionnaire that measures the accommodations and impacts of caring for a child with a developmental disability. A sample of 407 caregivers of youth with intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, or both (average age = 11.7 years; 63% males) rated their child on a pool of 30 items, along with similar measures of accommodations and impacts (Parenting Daily Hassles scale [PDH] and Caregiver Strain Questionnaire [CSQ], respectively), a measure of adaptive functioning (Adaptive Behavior Assessment System - 3rd edition), and a measure of disruptive behaviors (Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form). Factor analysis of the AISDD suggested a one-factor solution. Items had high factor loadings (mean = .65), and the total score was normally distributed. The scale demonstrates high internal consistency (ordinal alpha = .93) and excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = .95). AISDD scores were negatively associated with age (r = -.19), had no association with gender, and differed by diagnosis (ASD+ID > ASD only > ID only). As expected, there was a negative correlation with adaptive functioning (r = -.35) and a positive association with challenging behaviors (e.g., NCBRF subscales were all significant and ranged from Anxious/Insecure r = .22 to Hyperactive r = .57). Convergent validity with the PDH (Frequency: r = .77, Intensity: r = .69) and CSQ (r = .77) was strong. The current study fills a gap in the literature, as it provides a brief, reliable measure of caregiver accommodations and impacts that was developed to be sensitive to change over time.

This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 885 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Intellectual Disability and Clinical Psychology Practice will equip clinical psychologists in training with the skills necessary to complete a clinical placement in the field of intellectual disability. Building on the success of the previous edition this handbook has been extensively revised. Throughout, the text, references, and website addresses and have been updated to reflect important developments since the publication the first edition. Recent research findings on the epidemiology, aetiology, course, outcome, assessment and treatment of all psychological problems considered in the book have been incorporated into the text. Account has been taken of changes in the diagnosis and classification of intellectual disability and psychological problems reflected in the AAIDD-11 and the DSM-5. New chapters on the assessment of adaptive behaviour and support needs, person-centred active support, and the assessment of dementia in people with intellectual disability have been added. The book is divided into eight sections: Section 1: Covers general conceptual frameworks for practice - diagnosis, classification, epidemiology and lifespan development. Section 2: Focuses on assessment of intelligence, adaptive behaviour, support needs, quality of life, and the processes of interviewing and report writing. Section 3: Covers intervention frameworks, specifically active support, applied behavioural analysis and cognitive behaviour therapy. Section 4: Deals with supporting families of children with intellectual disability, genetic syndromes and autism spectrum disorders. Section 5: Covers issues associated with intellectual disability first evident or prevalent in middle childhood. Section 6: Deals with adolescent concerns including life skills training, relationships and sexuality. Section 7: Focuses on residential, vocational and family-related challenges of adulthood and aging. Section 8: Deals with professional issues and risk assessment. Chapters cover theoretical and empirical issues on the one hand and practice issues on the other. They close with summaries and suggestions for further reading for practitioners and families containing a member with an intellectual disability. Where appropriate, in many chapters, practice exercises to aid skills development have been included. The second edition of the Handbook of Intellectual Disability and Clinical Psychology Practice is one of a set of three volumes which cover the lion’s share of the curriculum for clinical psychologists in training in the UK and Ireland. The other two volumes are the Handbook of Child and Adolescent Clinical Psychology, Third Edition (by Alan Carr) and the Handbook of Adult Clinical Psychology Practice, Second Edition (edited by Alan Carr & Muireann McNulty).

Download or read book Growth and Development in Adulthood among Persons with Intellectual Disability written by Hefziba Lifshitz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume advocates an optimistic new conceptual and practical approach to adulthood, aging, and education for individuals with intellectual disability (ID) across the lifespan. The compensation age theory (CAT) at the heart of this book suggests that the adulthood period in populations with ID may be characterized by processes of cognitive development, growth, and neural sprouting, rather than stagnation or even decline. Empirical findings indicate the contribution of chronological age, maturity, and accumulating life experiences to adults’ continued cognitive growth and intelligence, as a result of direct mediation, cognitive intervention, and academic learning as well as exposure to indirect learning. Grounded in cumulative evidence for the CAT, the book presents comprehensive analysis of a practical holistic educational intervention model for enhancing adults’ Cognition (literacy), Affect (including autonomy), and Behavior (adaptive behavior skills), including operative strategies, mediational parameters, and guidance for change agents in diverse settings. This triple CAB model offers detailed tools for promoting the cognitive improvement and invigoration of adults with ID in during ADL, vocational and leisure activities, at all severity levels ranging from mild and moderate to severe and profound, across different ID etiologies including Down syndrome, and even at advanced ages for adults with ID exhibiting comorbid Alzheimer’s.

Download or read book Meeting Emotional Needs in Intellectual Disability written by Tanja Sappok and published by Hogrefe Publishing GmbH. This book was released on 2022-01-24 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Help adults with intellectual disabilities improve their mental health and quality of life Introduces a new emotional development, evidence-based model Details phases and milestones of development for people with ID Explains challenging behaviour and mental health problems according to the model Detailed guidance on how to apply the approach in practice Full of case examples More about the book Using a developmental perspective, the authors offer a new, integrated model for supporting people with intellectual disability (ID). This concept builds upon recent advances in attachment-informed approaches, by drawing upon a broader understanding of the social, emotional, and cognitive competencies of people with ID, which is grounded in developmental neuroscience and psychology. The book explores in detail how challenging behaviour and mental health difficulties in people with ID arise when their basic emotional needs are not being met by those in the environment. Using individually tailored interventions, which complement existing models of care, practitioners can help to facilitate maturational processes and reduce behaviour that is challenging to others. As a result, the "fit" of a person within his or her individual environment can be improved. Case examples throughout the book illuminate how this approach works by targeting interventions towards the person's stage of emotional development. This book will be of interest to a wide range of professionals working with people with ID, including: clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, learning disability nurses, speech and language therapists, and teachers in special education settings, as well as parents and caregivers.

Download or read book Psychological Evaluation of the Developmentally and Physically Disabled written by Jean-Pierre Fouque and published by Springer. This book was released on 1987-07-31 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has witnessed a considerable upsurge of clinical and research interest in the problems of developmentally and physically the fields of psychology, disabled persons. Indeed, professionals from special education, rehabilitation, psychiatry, and social work have all directed attention to the development and implementation of evaluation and remedial programs. The heightened activity in this area is in part a result of early assessment research with these popUlations, which provided preliminary evidence of difficulties in social and emotional adjustment in many disabled individuals. In response to these findings, many intervention efforts have been implemented to deal with these issues and improve the life situation of the disabled. Also, there were indications that developmentally and physically disabled children often were deprived of adequate educations. As a result, legal and legislative initiatives have been enacted in recent years to make public education available to all students irrespective of disability. Central to all therapeutic and psychoeducational endeavors with the disabled is psychological evaluation. Only through careful and com prehensive psychological evaluation can areas of deficit as well as strengths be identified. Once treatment targets and goals have been ascertained, psychological evaluation is needed to determine the efficacy of intervention strategies. However, the field of psychological evalua tion, in general, and with disabled persons, in particular, has become highly specialized. This is largely a function of the changing roles of psychological evaluators.

Download or read book Diagnosis and Assessment in Autism written by Eric Schopler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Division TEACCH, located in the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was one of the first programs in the country to understand that autism was an organic rather than a biologic condition. We were also one of the earliest programs to recognize the enormous variability in characteristics and behaviors of children described as autistic. For these reasons, the processes of diagnosis and assessment have always been important and central to our program. We are therefore extremely pleased to have a volume representing the most current thinking of the field's leaders in these important areas. As with the preceding books in our series, Current Issues in Autism, this volume is based on one of the annual TEACCH conferences held in Chapel Hill each May. The books are not simply published proceedings of the conference papers, however. Rather, conference participants are asked to develop a full chapter around their presentations. Other international experts whose work is beyond the scope of the conference, but related to the major theme, are asked to contribute chapters as well. These volumes are designed to provide the most current knowledge in research and professional practice available on the most important issues defining and clarifying autism.

Download or read book Reliability and Validity of International Large Scale Assessment written by Hans Wagemaker and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book describes and reviews the development of the quality control mechanisms and methodologies associated with IEA’s extensive program of educational research. A group of renowned international researchers, directly involved in the design and execution of IEA’s international large-scale assessments (ILSAs), describe the operational and quality control procedures that are employed to address the challenges associated with providing high-quality, comparable data. Throughout the now considerable history of IEA’s international large-scale assessments, establishing the quality of the data has been paramount. Research in the complex multinational context in which IEA studies operate imposes significant burdens and challenges in terms of the methodologies and technologies that have been developed to achieve the stated study goals. The demands of the twin imperatives of validity and reliability must be satisfied in the context of multiple and diverse cultures, languages, orthographies, educational structures, educational histories, and traditions. Readers will learn about IEA’s approach to such challenges, and the methods used to ensure that the quality of the data provided to policymakers and researchers can be trusted. An often neglected area of investigation, namely the consequential validity of ILSAs, is also explored, examining issues related to reporting, dissemination, and impact, including discussion of the limits of interpretation. The final chapters address the question of the influence of ILSAs on policy and reform in education, including a case study from Singapore, a country known for its outstanding levels of achievement, but which nevertheless seeks the means of continual improvement, illustrating best practice use of ILSA data.
