Abstract

Intellectual Development Disorder Interviews Psychometrics Questionnaires Self-Report Special Needs Test Reliability Test Validity
Comments on the article by R. Kooijmans et al. (see record 2022-27211-001). Kooijmans et al.’s article, which focused on adapting self-report measures to the needs of individuals with intellectual disability, aimed to provide practical suggestions concerning self-report instrument and design. Their systematic review regarding self-report methods revealed that research did not support the suggestions reported in the existing literature. Additionally, the suggestions gleaned from their review were limited. As a means with which to compensate for the lack of evidence-based psychotherapy, the authors urge clinicians who develop interventions for people with intellectual disability/learning disability/developmental disability to review current literature relevant to the principles of change for the individual they are tasked to treat. Combining this approach with consultation and professional development regarding individuals with special needs, is potentially a useful method for developing effective interventions.
