MacLean, Hannah; McKenzie, Karen; Kidd, Gill; Murray, Aja L.; Schwannauer, Matthias – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
Intellectual assessment is central to the process of diagnosing an intellectual disability and the assessment process needs to be valid and reliable. One fundamental aspect of validity is that of measurement invariance, i.e. that the assessment measures the same thing in different populations. There are reasons to believe that measurement…

Evaluating pain in adults with intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) is a challenge. The Non-Communicating Adults Pain Checklist (NCAPC) was recently developed from the Non-Communicating Children's Pain Checklist (NCCPC) and examined in a group of adults with IDD (N = 228) and found to hold satisfactory construct validity, internal…

Matson, Johnny L.; Laud, Rinita B.; Gonzalez, Melissa L.; Malone, Carrie J.; Swender, Stephen L. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2005
The use of anti-epileptic medications (AEDs) is much higher in individuals with intellectual disabilities than in the general population. As many of these individuals rely on such medications, clinicians should consider psychometrically sound instruments for assessing adverse side effects of these medications as one aspect of routine clinical…
