The construct of support needs has become a key aspect for the diagnostics, classification, and interventional management of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). However, instruments specifically designed to assess support needs in this population are not available. Currently, the Supports Intensity Scale for Children (SIS-C), which could be administe...

Although research has shown a significant relationship between self-determination and intelligence, other factors also contribute to its development. The...

This book describes the outcomes obtained regarding two closely related research projects, namely: "Development and validation of a support needs assessment scale for children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities" (funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness [Ref PSI2012-36278]) and "Assessment and diff...

The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities have proclaimed the basic right of people to make one’s own choices, have an effective participation and inclusion. Research in the field of disability have stressed self-determination as a key construct because of its impact on their quality of life and the achievement of desired educationa...

Background Advances in theoretical frameworks of self‐determination require the development of new assessment instruments. This study examines the dimensional structure of a self‐determination scale and analyses the factorial invariance of its measurement across age and gender. Method The AUTODDIS Scale was used to assess the self‐determination of...

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 nee...

Background: The purposes of this study were to empirically determine whether the support needs construct is generalizable across children with and without intellectual disability and to conduct cross-group comparisons to explore how extraordinary and non-extraordinary support needs differ in children. Method: One thousand thirty-six children (81...

Background Advances in international studies on self‐determination point out the need for continuous efforts to deepen its understanding and implications. The aim of this study is to obtain a comprehensive pool of items to operationalize the self‐determination construct that serves as a starting point towards a valid instrument based on the reports...

Background: The development of Universal Design for Learning and the implementation of curricula accessible to all students, including people with disabilities, are priorities in the university context. Besides, future professionals in the field of education, who are now being trained, demand coherence between theory and teaching practices. Method:...

La autodeterminación es un factor relevante en la educación y en la vida de las personas con discapacidad, quienes reclaman su derecho a poder ser agente causal en su propia vida. La investigación pone de manifiesto que los factores personales y ambientales juegan un rol fundamental en el desarrollo y la expresión de la autodeterminación. El objeti...

Support needs represent the intensity of support required by a person with a disability in order to take part in the activities related to normative human functioning. The Supports Intensity Scale for Children (SIS-C) is possibly the most promising tool for assessing and designing individualized support programs in children with intellectual disabi...

The goal of this poster is to present the relationship between afore mentioned assessment instruments and how this relationship it is shown in a sample composed of 4 Spanish children with intellectual disability. Support needs were assessed through the Supports Intensity Scale for Children (SIS-C), adaptive behaviour through the Diagnostic Adaptive...

Background: Most theoretical models of self-determination suggest that both environmental and personal factors influence the development of self-determination. The design and implementation of interventions must be conducted with foreknowledge of such mediating and moderating factors if the intervention is to be successful. Methods: The purpose of...

Background: The new socio-ecological model of disability directs attention to the importance of the environment in understanding individual functioning and promotes the provision of support from an early age. Following on from that thinking, the SIS-C (Supports Intensity Scale for Children) has been developed as an innovative assessment tool focus...

Background: Interest in the support needs of people with intellectual disability has directed attention to developing assessments to measure of the pattern and intensity of supports which people need to participate in valued life activities. Assessments of the support needs of children must account for the influence of age. Method: Four hundred fif...

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.
