Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The main study parameter is the level of quality of life pre * and
post-treatment, rated by both parents.
Secondary outcome
Secondary study parameters include subtest (domain) scores on the ABAS-3
(social, conceptual and practical adaptive functioning), intellectual
functioning as measured by a Wechsler scale of intellectual functioning (either
the WISC-III, WISC-V), academic achievement (results provided by schools on
*leerlingvolgsysteem * CITO-testing*), several neuropsychological variables
such as social cognition and working memory and experienced parenting stress as
measured by the OBVL-k.
Background summary
In accordance with the 2002 AAIDD-definition of intellectual disabilities, the
DSM-5 has shifted its focus away from full-scale IQ-scores to a more clinically
relevant focus on impairments in adaptive functioning (Greenspan & Woods,
2014). An impairment in at least one of three domains (social, conceptual and
practical) is required in order to receive a DSM-5 classification of
Intellectual Developmental Disorder (IDD). Adaptive functioning, however, is a
broad construct (Tassé et al., 2012) and how this construct should be
translated to the process of test diagnostics, is currently unclear (Greenspan
& Woods, 2014; Uzieblo, Habets & Jeandarme, 2015). Furthermore, adaptive
functioning is susceptible to the influence of several differing factors
(Papazoglou et al., 2013) and the influence of impairments in adaptive
functioning on actual success in daily life or quality of life in children with
IDD is, at present, unclear.
Study objective
The main objective of our study is to disentangle the factors that determine
the quality of life in children and adolescents with intellectual developmental
disorders and psychiatric disorders, and in the process, develop a more
systematic and multidimensional approach to diagnosing these children according
to the most recent guidelines and current empirical evidence.
Study design
Longitudinal observational study
Study burden and risks
The risk and burden for participants is minimal since the majority of the study
protocol is part of care as usual (standard process of diagnostic assessment)
at Karakter. Parents and children are asked to participate in one extra
assessment. To facilitate parents and children in participation, it will be
possible to conduct the additional assessment either at Karakter, in the
child*s school or at home.
