I'm seeking a very brief, nonthreatening tool that will be used with parents who are enrolled in a family support program to identify potential intellectual disabilities. The tool will be used by family support workers to help them tailor services. It will also be used in research. Thanks for ideas...
Try:
Test of Nonverbal Intelligence (TONI)
The UNIT.
The DIAL.
All three tests are brief, easy to administer.
Shisophrenia and autism are different in diagnostic materials.
Nevertheless, my experience in working with children and adults
with autism (spectrum autismus, DSM V) is a great resemblance
to the adaptability, functioning and behavior of these two
groups. The differences are greater among children in these
We also use the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) as a first approximation.
We are developing an investigation in the field of Intellectual Disability, in this case Autism Spectrum Disorders, in which we evaluate the involvement of parents in a family support program. I refer you to some of the instruments we use if they are of your interest:
INVOLVEMENT OF PARENTS: PTRS-Parent Version (which we compare with PTRS-Teacher Version) In this reference you can find more information: Kokaridas Dimitrios, K, Georgia, V., Eleni, Z & Asterios, P. (2008): Parental Attitudes Regarding Inclusion of Children with Disabilities in Greek Education Settings. Electronic Journal for inclusive Education number 3. ORM Larrivee, B., & Cook, L. (1979). Mainstreaming: A study of the variables affecting teacher attitudes. Journal of Special Education, 13, 315-324. doi: 10.1177 / 002246697901300310 This scale is used in Hong, Kwon & Jeon (2014) used the ORM with parents
The Gilliam Autism Rating Scale-Third Edition (GARS-3) can assist teachers & parents in easily identifying autism in children.
Thanks, everyone. We are seeking measures to assess intellectual disability in PARENTS, not children - and not limited to autism (could be mild brain injury, for example).
The HASI may be usefull. Although its items are more like intelligence measures it is validated against IDD diagnosis that includes both IQ and adaptive behavior. Not sure if it is validated in a general population sample though. Check out the HASI-NV. It says that it is developed for community settings (https://www.hasi.com.au/index_hasinv.php)
