Although efforts have been made to adapt housing to the needs of people with intellectual disabilities, environmental factors remain fragmented and poorly systematised. This study identifies and organises these factors to inform more inclusive and responsive housing design.

Social inclusion is a fundamental right of people with intellectual disabilities who face ongoing barriers to their community participation (CRPD).

Assessment of adaptive behaviour of people with moderate to profound intellectual disability is hampered by limited variation in scores within this range. We evaluated measurement properties of the Diagnostic Instrument on Adaptive Behaviour (DIAB), which was developed for this population.

People with intellectual disabilities experience significant health inequities. Digital interventions for health promotion are rarely designed from their specific needs. This study aimed to uncover core qualities of digital interventions for health promotion by exploring factors influencing health behaviours amongst people with intellectual disabilities.

Adaptations are frequently reported when delivering therapy to people with an intellectual disability, including the involvement of carers. This review aimed to understand the experience of carer involvement from the perspective of the person, therapist and caregiver.

Respiratory-related illness including asthma is a leading cause of avoidable higher mortality in those with intellectual disabilities. International guidelines stress the importance of good self-management in avoiding asthma-related deaths but give no guidance on how this is achieved with this vulnerable population.

People with intellectual disabilities are at increased risk of presenting behaviours that challenge. Behaviour support plans (BSPs) guide the use of bespoke strategies to maximise life quality and reduce the risk of behaviours that challenge. The behaviour support plan content appraisal tool (BSP-CAT) was developed to assess and improve the quality of BSPs. The aim of this study was to examine the reliability of the BSP-CAT.

People with intellectual disabilities often present a discrepancy between emotional and cognitive development, which may play a role in the presence of some psychiatric disorders and problem behaviour (PB).

Individuals with intellectual disabilities face increased risks of obesity and health issues. Carers in residential settings play a crucial role in shaping their dietary habits. This study explores how carers influence eating behaviours to identify strategies for healthy eating.

This study aimed to understand the well-being, caregiver burden and support of sibling caregivers of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Strengths-based employment services focused on the abilities of people with intellectual disabilities challenge traditional, deficits-based orientations. Within the presence of hope, which sustains collective effort toward a preferred future, such employment services may stimulate social change. Therefore, the presence of hope was examined within strengths-based employment settings for adults with intellectual disabilities to understand its potential to establish inclusive workplaces.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, people with intellectual disabilities in sheltered home care facilities had to use digital contact as an alternative to face-to-face contact.

This brief report examines the challenges faced by adults with intellectual disabilities in Southern Africa regarding intimate relationships, parenthood and access to reproductive health services. Despite cultural values like Ubuntu emphasising interconnectedness, stigma, remnants of colonialism and underdeveloped service systems continue to marginalise individuals with intellectual disabilities.

People with intellectual disability participate in organised sports to a lesser extent than people in general. The aim of this study was to explore the motivation for engaging in sports among athletes using the theoretical framework of sense of belonging.

The present study aimed to understand the effectiveness of natural setting interventions to increase the level of PA in older adults (≥ 40 years old) with intellectual disabilities.

The Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) represents a significant shift in service funding for children with hereditary or congenital cognitive disabilities. This PRISMA-based scoping review identifies and maps the NDIS literature to display research gaps and priorities for this cohort.

Feeding is an important health consideration for children with Down syndrome due to their increased risks for feeding challenges and overweight/obesity. Healthcare providers play an important role in providing feeding guidance to families; however, there is limited research on feeding children with Down syndrome and the role of healthcare providers. The purpose of this study is to explore how interactions with healthcare providers contribute to mothers' experiences feeding their children with Down syndrome.

Attitudes of health and education professionals towards individuals with disabilities critically influence service quality and inclusion. Few studies have compared these attitudes during professional training.

Women labelled with intellectual disabilities face high rates of social exclusion and sexual violence, with limited research and few services tailored to their needs. Peer support offers many benefits including recognition of diverse lived experiences and nonprofessional perspectives. This article highlights collaborative efforts of women labelled with intellectual disabilities, service providers and researchers in advancing peer support through an applied research project.

Facilitating adult sibling involvement for individuals with pervasive support needs is important. This study explores the attitudes of healthcare professionals in this process.

Oral opportunistic bacteria pose health risks for people with intellectual disability, yet their relationship with activities of daily living (ADLs) remains underexplored.

Sexual violence against women with intellectual disabilities is complex and often underreported due to systemic, social, and cultural barriers. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the cultural conditions regarding the sexuality of women with intellectual disabilities that significantly limit the disclosure of sexual violence against this group.

Feeding difficulties, including aspiration risk, are common in children with Down syndrome. Identifying factors affecting feeding modality is crucial.

This study compared ophthalmologists' and other health-care professionals' attitudes towards people with intellectual disabilities in clinical and nonclinical settings.

Adults with intellectual disability, especially those with Down syndrome, are at increased risk of dementia. Whilst memory decline is often considered the earliest symptom, emerging research indicates decline in language, executive function, and non-cognitive domains may also occur early, potentially before memory changes.

Leadership is crucial for frontline managers leading direct support staff in intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) services because it impacts both the staff and service users.

Children with mild intellectual disabilities in Malaysia often lack structured, tailored sexuality education. Existing national resources are broad and not diagnosis-specific. This study developed and validated sexuality education guidelines and an activity kit for parents of children aged 4-12 years with mild intellectual disabilities.
