The most salient SIB risk factors historically studied within developmental disorders are level of intellectual disability, communication deficits and presence of specific…

Azar, Sandra T.; Stevenson, Michael T.; Johnson, David R. – Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2012
Parents with intellectual disabilities (PID) are overrepresented in the child protective services (CPS) system. This study examined a more nuanced view of the role of cognition in parenting risk. Its goal was to validate a social information processing (SIP) model of child neglect that draws on social cognition research and advances in…

Simpson, Murray – Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2007

Miller, Carlin J.; Marks, David J.; Halperin, Jeffrey M. – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2005
Premorbid intellectual function estimation is a crucial part of patient evaluation following a traumatic brain injury (TBI), especially in individuals with ADHD who are at higher risk for TBI compared to their non-ADHD peers. This study investigates the value of using regression-based estimates of intelligence for concurrently predicting measured…
