![]() ![]() Follow-up research in a larger sample is needed.Ĭhildren with severe or moderate intellectual disabilities (SID: IQ 20 - 49 World Health Organization, 2019) are more likely to experience potentially traumatic events compared to children without an ID (Byrne, 2018 Hatton & Emerson, 2004 MacLean et al., 2017 Santoro et al., 2018). ![]() The DITS-SID is potentially suitable for diagnosing PTSD. In understanding challenging behavior, it is important to consider an underlying PTSD in order to provide appropriate treatment. PTSD is probably underdiagnosed in this target group. There is evidence that the PTSD manifestation of children with SID does not differ from that of children without SID. Self-injurious behavior was one of the most commonly reported PTSD symptoms. There are indications of a good convergent validity. The inter-rater reliability of the DITS-SID is good to excellent. The Diagnostic Interview Trauma and Stressors-Severe Intellectual Disabilities (DITS-SID), Aberrant Behavior Checklist and Child and Adolescent Trauma Screener 3-6 were administered to parents and residential caregivers of fifteen children with SID. This pilot explores the psychometric properties of a new diagnostic instrument to investigate trauma and to classify PTSD in children with SID. No research has been conducted on PTSD manifestation in children with severe or moderate intellectual disability (SID IQ 20 – 49) and no PTSD measurement instrument was available. ![]()
