Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The prevalence of intellectual disability across all 52 studies included in the meta-analysis was 10.37/1000 population, and the highest rates were seen in countries from low- and middle income countries.

1,226 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Data showed that the two participants significantly increased their motivation for physical rehabilitation, thus improving exercise performance during the intervention phases, and this study assessed the possibility of rehabilitating two young adults with motor impairments using a Kinect-based system in a public school setting.

755 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Young adults with autism spectrum disorders are at high risk for mood and anxiety disorders, and elevated vigilance is needed in clinical practice to identify and offer treatment.

464 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is concluded that a number of changes need to be made in order that the DSM-V-criteria might be used reliably and validly in clinical practice and research.

373 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is concluded that overall, high quality research into general population attitudes to intellectual disability is limited and there is a notable absence of well designed evaluations of efforts to reduce misconceptions about intellectual disability and tackle negative attitudes.

340 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It has been demonstrated that body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength and endurance, anaerobic capacity, power, and physical activity have all been negatively associated, to various degrees, with poor motor proficiency.

281 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Virtual reality using Wii gaming technology demonstrated benefit in improving sensorimotor functions among children with Down syndrome and could be used as adjuvant therapy to other proven successful rehabilitative interventions in treating children with DS.

254 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This multi-site collaboration involved retrospective record review at multiple sources and reported CP subtype, co-occurring DDs, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level, and walking ability as well as CP period prevalence by race/ethnicity and sex.

196 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Frequency of participation in leisure activities for children and youth with physical disabilities is associated with a variety of variables, and Gross motor function, manual ability, cognitive ability, communicative skills, age and gender are the most important variables.

192 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In children with learning disabilities a specific relationship was observed between reading and locomotor skills and a trend was found for a relationship between mathematics and object-control skills: the larger children's learning lag, the poorer their motor skill scores.

182 citations


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: An extension of the Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) is developed and validated for better capturing the female phenotype of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and certain single ASSQ-GIRL items were much more typical of girls than of boys with ASD.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The findings provide support for the notion that sensory abnormality is very common in young children with autism and has been proposed for inclusion among the diagnostic criteria for ASD in the upcoming DSM-V.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A focused, comprehensive examination of aggressive behavior intervention research for individuals with developmental disabilities aged 3-18 years published between 1980 and 2009 is provided.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Although no specific directional relations were observed between auditory processing, speech perception and phonological awareness, the highly significant concurrent and predictive correlations between all these variables suggest a reciprocal association and corroborate the evidence for the auditory deficit theory of dyslexia.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results indicated that early place-value understanding was a reliable predictor for specific aspects of arithmetic performance, and implications of the role of basic numerical competencies for the acquisition of complex arithmetic are discussed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is found that work stress, specifically work overload, limited participation decision-making, and client disability care, was positively associated with burnout and the importance of strong work-based social support networks and stress management resources for DCWs is underscored.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results support the importance of attention for well-developed gross motor skills in children with borderline and mild ID, especially to object-control skills, which might contribute positively to their sports participation.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The findings show that children with Down syndrome have broad language deficits and associated verbal short-term memory deficits and similarities to that seen in children with Specific Language Impairment.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Results indicated that FCT far exceeds criteria to be designated as a well-established treatment for problem behavior exhibited by children with ID and children with autism spectrum disorder, and can be characterized as probably efficacious with adults.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It was concluded that handwriting must be consistently dysgraphic before making any decisions about a diagnosis of dysgraphia or referral for therapy, and BeeryVMI was inappropriate as a screening instrument for handwriting problems.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Improved understanding of participation and of activity limitations in children with DCD is essential for clarifying diagnostic criteria, guiding assessment, and making evidence-based decisions regarding intervention.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results suggest that the MABC-2 can be a reliable and valid tool for the assessment of movement difficulties among 3-5-year-old children.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results support the reliability and validity of the TCMS in children with spastic CP and the scale gives insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the child's trunk performance and therefore can have valuable clinical use.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is suggested that consolidation and longer-term procedural learning are impaired in SLI, but that these impairments are specifically tied to the grammatical deficits in the disorder.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The confirmatory factor analyses undertaken in this study further validate the structural validity of the M-ABC-2 as it has developed over time and show clear evidence for a change in the factor structure towards differentiation in motor abilities with age.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The data do not support that children with ASD generally benefit more from the most intensive ABA intervention programs than from less intensive interventions or targeted interventions based on ABA.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Examination of the participation patterns of children with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder in out-of-school-time (OST) activities found a relationship was found between participation patterns and motor ability.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Findings suggest that these relationships should be considered during clinical practice, particularly in the case of CB interventions where sleep problems and/or anxiety are also present.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results revealed that the combined effects of autism symptom severity, internalizing behavior, and externalizing behavior were the main predisposing factors for the development of insomnia.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Analysis of postural control in Down syndrome participants considering three different groups composed by children, teenagers and adults with DS indicated a divergence of these two groups starting from their early age, although the limit of this study considering a cross-sectional, and not a longitudinal comparison.
