Children and adolescents with and without intellectual disabilities: comparative research of their support needs

Abstract

[EN]The goal of this poster is to present a study that assesses the support needs of children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities in a comprehensive way using the Spanish Version of the SIS for Children (SIS-C) (Guillén et al., 2015; Verdugo et al., 2014, 2016) The assessment of support needs has gathered much attention over the last few years in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities, becoming a key aspect during the development and implementation of individualized support plans. There is increasing research interest in the development and use of reliable and valid tools focused on the evaluation of this construct, not only during adulthood but also in early childhood
