Petry, Katja; Kuppens, Sofie; Vos, Pieter; Maes, Bea – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
Recently, several instruments have been developed to measure the subjective component of the quality of life (QOL) of people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD). A next step, however, must be the further validation of these instruments. The present study aimed at evaluating the psychometric properties of one of these…
