Unique profile of academic learning difficulties in Wiedemann–Steiner syndrome
R. Ng, H. T. Bjornsson, J. A. Fahrner, J. Harris
doi : 10.1111/jir.12993
Wiedemann–Steiner syndrome (WSS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by heterozygous variants in KMT2A. To date, the cognitive profile associated with WSS remains largely unknown, although emergent case series implicate increased risk of non-verbal reasoning and visual processing deficits.
Resting energy expenditure in adolescents with Down syndrome: a comparison of commonly used predictive equations
B. C. Helsel, R. P. Shook, B. Forseth, M. L. Dreyer Gillette, M. Polfuss, B. Miller, P. Posson, R. Steele, J. P. Thyfault, L. T. Ptomey
doi : 10.1111/jir.12995
Adolescents with Down syndrome (DS) are two to three times more likely to be obese than their typically developing peers. When preventing or treating obesity, it is useful for clinicians to understand an individual's energy intake needs.
Attitude of elite tennis coaches working with athletes with intellectual disabilities participating in Special Olympics
K. Orbán-Sebestyén, Z. S. Szilárd, J. Farkas, C. Ökrös, G. M. Roswal
doi : 10.1111/jir.12996
There is a paucity of research regarding the attitudes of coaches towards training athletes with intellectual disabilities (ID). This is particularly evident for coaches working with athletes with ID that are competing in the innovative Special Olympics (SO) Unified Sports programme.
Health disparities associated with access to disability evaluations for toddlers in Early Head Start
M. C. Diemer, R. A. Paul, E. D. Gerstein
doi : 10.1111/jir.13003
The aim of this investigation was to examine developmental, sociodemographic and familial factors associated with parent reported access to an evaluation in an Early Head Start sample. Children with developmental disabilities often require evaluations to access early interventions, which can improve their long-term outcomes.
Confirmatory factor analysis of the BRIEF2 in a sample of youth with Down syndrome
A. Soltani, E. K. Schworer, L. A. Jacobson, M. M. Channell, N. R. Lee, G. G. Faught, R. Grzadzinski, D. Fidler, A. J. Esbensen
doi : 10.1111/jir.13000
The factor structure of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, second edition (BRIEF2) has been widely examined in both typically developing children and specific clinical samples.
Feasibility of social cognitive theory-based fall prevention intervention for people with intellectual disabilities living in group-home
P. Choi, R. W. Motl, S. Agiovlasitis
doi : 10.1111/jir.13001
Adults with intellectual disability (ID) have a higher rate of fall events than the general population. Consequently, interventions for reducing fall events and improving health are highly required for individuals with ID.
Calibration of hip accelerometers for measuring physical activity and sedentary behaviours in adults with Down syndrome
S. Agiovlasitis, B. K. Ballenger, E. E. Schultz, Q. Du, R. W. Motl
doi : 10.1111/jir.13002
The knowledge base on physical activity and sedentary behaviour in adults with Down syndrome (DS) may advance by accelerometer calibration studies. This study aimed to develop cut-points for sedentary behaviour and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) for adults with DS based on output from accelerometers worn on the dominant and non-dominant hips.
