Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch‐up (ABC) is an intervention targeted at enhancing the socioemotional and regulatory functioning of at‐risk infants. However, to use the ABC for infants/toddlers with intellectual disabilities/developmental delays (ID/DD) and in novel cultural contexts, such as South Africa, adaptations may be required. This study aimed, therefore, to explore the opinions of clinical experts and perceptions of caregivers regarding the use of ABC for children with ID/DD in South Africa. It also sought to incorporate the experiences of families of children with ID/DD who received, and intervenors who delivered, ABC in its first implementation in South Africa. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 18 participants. Thematic analysis explicated 12 main themes: Intervention Strengths, Points of Concern, and Recommendations (Experts); Focus on Caregiver‐child Relationship, and Intervention Targets and Duration (Caregivers); Benefits of ABC, and Cultural Considerations (ABC Recipients); Focused and Targeted, Value of Feedback, Supportive Supervision, Working Alliance, and Challenges Experienced (ABC Intervenors). Practice and training recommendations include psychoeducation for parents and training for intervenors that is ID/DD‐specific, expanding supervision capacity, building intervenors' cultural/linguistic sensitivity and competence, accessing referral networks, including local Community Health Workers as intervenors, and greater flexibility in how the sessions are organized.

Der vorliegende Artikel fokussiert den Distanzunterricht im Förderschwerpunkt Geistige Entwicklung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Schüler:innen mit Bedarf an Unterstützter Kommunikation (UK-Bedarf). Auf der Basis einer qualitativen Interviewstudie werden Ergebnisse zur Unterrichtsgestaltung sowie Barrieren und Gelingensfaktoren des Distanzunterrichts für Schüler:innen mit UK-Bedarf aus der Perspektive von Lehrkräften an Förderschulen mit dem Förderschwerpunkt Geistige Entwicklung vorgestellt. Die Ergebnisse werden unter Rückbezug zum Konstrukt der Partizipation diskutiert. Es zeigt sich, dass die Unterrichtsgestaltung im Distanzunterricht unter Einbeziehung von Mitteln und Methoden der Unterstützten Kommunikation in gesellschaftlicher, gemeinschaftlicher und individueller Hinsicht besonders komplex ist. Abstract This article focuses on distance learning in special education settings with particular consideration of students with learning disabilities and complex communication needs (CCN). On the basis of qualitative interviews results for lesson design are presented as well barriers and success factors of distance learning for students with complex communication needs from the perspective of teachers in special schools. The results are discussed with reference to the construct of participation. The overall picture that emerges is that distance learning using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tools and methods is particularly complex on the levels of society, community and the individual.

The therapy of children with a disability is mostly complex and interdisciplinary. Due to occurring stagnations, affected parents also use alternative options to support their child, like animal-assisted therapy. In the context of children with a disability dolphin-assisted therapy (DT) is often cited. The present paper describes that form of therapy. Theories and studies about the effectiveness are reported. Finally a case report about a girl with succinic-semialdehyde-dehydrogenase-deficiency (SSADHD) and her linguistic abilities before and after a DT is presented. During the data acquisition, a triangulation of methods (parent-interviews, questionnaires, tests) as well as hospitations in the DT-sessions were performed. The post-testing showed effects in speech comprehension and participation in daily life. Because their promotion was not explicitly part of the DT, it remains unclear, to what the effects can be traced. The results are critically discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hintergrund: Die psychotherapeutische Behandlung von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit geistiger Behinderung unterliegt einer Vielzahl von Barrieren. Fallbericht: Der hier vorgestellte Behandlungsfall illustriert die erfolgreiche Anwendung kognitiver Verhaltenstherapie bei einem 10-jährigen Mädchen bei Entwicklungsstörung und Intelligenzminderung. Nach einer medizinisch notwendigen Untersuchung entstanden ausgeprägte Angstsymptome und Verhaltensprobleme. Infolge einer bekannten Epilepsie war der Einsatz expositionsbasierter Techniken fraglich. Die kognitive Verhaltenstherapie umfasste 64 Behandlungseinheiten. Das Vorgehen zur Selbstbeobachtung, Rationalvermittlung und Angstbewältigung war stark handlungsbezogen und wenig kognitiv orientiert und fand im häuslichen Setting mit Einbezug der Familienmitglieder statt. Nachfolgend wurden – auch aufgrund der zunehmenden Reifung des Kindes – kognitiv anspruchsvollere Techniken eingesetzt. Zur 38. Behandlungseinheit wurden zuvor angstbesetzte Situationen dem Entwicklungsstand angemessen und selbstständig bewältigt. Eine nachfolgende medizinische Untersuchung ähnlich der Auslösesituation wurde therapeutisch vorbereitet und sicher bewältigt. Zu Behandlungsende waren die Alltagskompetenzen maßgeblich erweitert. Schlussfolgerungen: Entgegen der Vorannahmen bedurfte es nur weniger Anpassungen an das Setting und die Behandlungstechniken im Vergleich zum Vorgehen bei ähnlicher Symptomatik ohne geistige Behinderung. Durch die psychotherapeutische Behandlung konnte kurz- und langfristig eine Manifestation (Eskalation) von weiterem Problemverhalten verhindert werden. Das Erkennen und die Auseinandersetzung mit dem "Anderssein" infolge der geistigen Behinderung und verfügbarer Alltagskompetenzen bergen Entwicklungsrisiken und -chancen, die durch eine psychotherapeutische Begleitung gut bewältigt werden können.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly becoming a part of everyday life including older adults, with one relevant area being AI-based voice assistance. Still, there is little research on AI voice assistance applications in older adults, especially those with intellectual disability. This paper anchors the topic of AI-based voice assistance in the aging and digitization research arena, putting emphasis on the need and importance of conceptual approaches established in gerontology and the health sciences. Following such conceptualization, we argue for the confluence of three methodological strategies and illustrate with the ongoing project AI-Ageing: (1) participatory research, (2) ecologically valid methods, and (3) automated emotion analysis as a particularly innovative assessment method in the area. Taking all together, we discuss the to be expected incremental value of AI voice assistance systems for older adults with and without intellectual disabilities and derive recommendations for their use.

Background: Hip fractures are regarded as a worldwide epidemic and a major public health concern. Changing risk factors, local differences and temporal trends contribute to the particular epidemiology of hip fractures. This overview gives a comprehensive insight into the epidemiology of hip fractures and reviews where German data have contributed to the literature.Methods: The review of the epidemiology of hip fractures in Germany is based on a systematic literature search in PubMed. Information about the global epidemiology of hip fractures was provided by a selective literature review focusing on specific aspects of the epidemiology of hip fractures.Results: Hip fracture rates vary more than 100-fold between different countries. In most high-income countries, a rise in age-standardized hip fracture rates was observed until the 1980s and 1990s and a decrease thereafter. Such a decrease has not been observed for Germany so far. Many factors, diseases and drugs have been found to be associated with hip fractures and there is some evidence that fracture risk in later life is already programmed during fetal life and early childhood. Of the hip fracture burden 50% occur in people with disability and in need of care. In nursing homes approximately 4 fractures can be expected in 100 women per year. In people with intellectual or developmental disabilities comparable risks of hip fracture occur 10-40 years earlier than in the general population. Incidence of disability, institutionalization and death are frequent consequences of hip fractures.Conclusion: The epidemiology of hip fractures is characterized by a high burden of disease, local differences, temporal trends, well-defined high-risk populations and many established risk factors.

Intellectual disability (ID) is a heterogeneous entity defined as a substantial impairment of cognitive and adaptive function with an onset in early childhood and an IQ measure of less than 70. During the last few years, the next generation technologies, namely whole exome (WES) and whole genome sequencing (WGS), have given rise to the identification of many new genes for autosomal dominant (ADID), autosomal recessive (ARID) and X‑linked forms of ID (XLID). The prevalence of ID is 1.5-2% for milder forms (IQ < 70) and 0.3-0.5% for more severe forms of ID (IQ < 50). Up to now, about 650 genes for ADID have been reported and it is expected that there are at least 350 genes still unidentified. Although the ADID genes can easily be classified according to the associated clinical findings, e. g. different kind of seizures, abnormal body measurements, an advanced selection of reasonable genes for analyses is challenging. Many different panels for ID genes have been developed for a first diagnostic step, but more meaningful is the use of trio exome sequencing in individuals with sporadic ID. Using trio WES the mutation detection rate for de novo mutations in ID varies from 20 to 60%.Further research is needed for the identification of the remaining ID genes, a deeply understanding of the pathways and the development of therapies for the mostly rare causes of ID.

ABSTRACT: Studies have shown that children later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in their first years of life might show symptoms in main developmental areas and that these signs might be sensed by the parents. The present study investigated in a large birth cohort if children later diagnosed with ASD had deviations at 6 and 18 months in areas such as the ability to self‐regulate emotions, feeding, and sleeping. The study was based on prospective information collected from 76,322 mothers who participated in the Danish National Birth Cohort. When the children reached an average age of 11 years, 973 children with ASD and a control group of 300 children with intellectual disability (IDnoASD) were identified via Danish health registries. Associations were found between short periods of breast‐feeding and the children later diagnosed with ASD and IDnoASD as well as associations at 18 months to deviations in regulation of emotions and activity. The similarities in these associations emphasize how difficult it is to distinguish between diagnoses early in life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Im Rahmen dieser Studie wurde ein Untersuchungsverfahren zur Demenzfrüherkennung und Verlaufsdiagnostik bei Menschen mit Intelligenzminderung (IM) entwickelt, welches aus einer Fremdbefragung und einer neuropsychologischen Testung besteht. Die Anwendung des Demenztests für Menschen mit Intelligenzminderung (DTIM) wurde in einer prospektiven zweijährigen Verlaufsstudie evaluiert. 102 Personen mit unterschiedlichen Schweregraden einer Intelligenzminderung (IM) wurden zu vier Testzeitpunkten in sechsmonatigen Abständen untersucht. Anhand der individuellen Verlaufsprofile konnten vier Gruppen identifiziert werden: (1) Verdacht bestätigt, (2) Kein Verdacht bestätigt, (3) Verdacht nicht bestätigt und (4) Früher Verdacht. Der DTIM konnte bei 90 %-100 % aller Teilnehmenden mit leichter bis mittelschwerer IM und bis zu 50 % bei Menschen mit schwerer IM eingesetzt werden. Signifikante Unterschiede zeigten sich zwischen Gruppe 1 und 2 zu allen Messzeitpunkten. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The topic of bereavement in people with intellectual disabilities is still rather underestimated in Czech Republic. This paper first describes the myths passed on in this area. Subsequently it characterizes specifics of experiencing grief in people with intellectual disabilities (their possibilities of understanding the reality of death, the influence of the social context) and possible expressions of their grief, that could be sometimes misunderstood for variability of its unusual forms. The core information is the overview of possible support that could be provided to grieving people with intelectual disabilities such us foreknowledge and education about the death, chosen specifics of professional counseling and specific therapy.
