Resumen
Background This study assessed the equivalence of
the measurement of support needs between children
with intellectual disability (ID) and children with
intellectual and motor disabilities (IMD) and
compared both groups in the different domains of
support.
Method The Supports Intensity Scale-Children’s
Version was used to assess the support needs of 713
children with ID and 286 children with IMD, mainly
associated with cerebral palsy.
Results The results supported measurement
invariance between the group of ID and IMD, which
allowed to conduct comparison between them.
Children with IMD scored higher on support needs
than did children without IMD, suggesting that
children with IMD needed more support than their
peers without motor impairments. Furthermore, the
ID levels interacted with motor impairments: at the
highest levels of ID, groups tended to be similar in
support needs, with high scores and low variability.
The greatest differences were found in the domains of
Home and Community activities.
