▼ Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is estimated to affect as many as 1 in 88 children. Epilepsy is a common comorbid condition in persons with ASD, but little is known about the prevalence of the disorder or clinical characteristics of individuals with ASD and epilepsy. While the cause of ASD is unknown, there is evidence that prenatal factors may play an etiological role. Objectives: To examine clinical characteristics of children with ASD and epilepsy and the association between prenatal risk factors and ASD. Methods: The association between epilepsy and ASD and prenatal risk factors for ASD were studied using several large samples. Participants were drawn from genetic collaborative datasets and population-based samples, including the Collaborative Perinatal Project (CPP). Multivariate regression modeling was used to control for confounding, in particular confounding by cognitive functioning. Results: Various clinical correlates of ASD and epilepsy were identified. Low IQ was found to be the best predictor of epilepsy in children with ASD. Children with epilepsy had more autism symptoms and maladaptive behaviors than children with ASD alone. Several prenatal characteristics that increase risk of ASD were identified including older maternal and paternal age at birth, bleeding during pregnancy, and edema. Intellectual disability was found to be a mild confounder of the association between prenatal risk factors and ASD. Conclusions: In a large sample of children with ASD, low cognitive ability emerged as a strong independent predictor of epilepsy. Children with ASD and epilepsy showed greater impairment than children with ASD without epilepsy, and this was mostly explained by the lower IQ of children with epilepsy. Prior associations between prenatal factors and autism were confirmed in a large population-based cohort study. This study paves the way for future research on ASD in the Collaborative Perinatal Project (CPP).

▼ Introduction: Falling appears to be a concern for individuals with intellectual disability. To date few studies have looked at falls, fall-related injuries and risk factors for falls in this population. In contrast, extensive fall-related research has been carried out in older population groups and has used a variety of methods to collect fall data. The use of similar methods to collect fall data might however be inappropriate for individuals with intellectual disability. Cognitive limitations, consenting issues and using proxy sources for collecting fall data are some research challenges evident in intellectual disability research. This thesis developed methods for collecting fall data about people with intellectual disability and tested these methods in two pilot studies. Furthermore, semi-structured interviews were conducted with occupational therapists and physiotherapists to discuss possible mobility/fall prevention strategies and to suggest future fall prevention programmes. Study Aims: The aims of this thesis were: 1. To develop an appropriate method to collect data on falls and fall-related injuries in adults with intellectual disability. 2. To develop a method to collect fall risk data in adults with intellectual disability. 3. To suggest suitable fall prevention strategies for adults with intellectual disability Methodology: A mixed method design was chosen for this thesis using a sequential exploratory design. The initial phase of the study involved qualitative data collection (stakeholder consultations and focus group discussions) and analysis, for developing and validating fall forms, followed by quantitative pilot studies (for testing these forms). An initial structured literature review explored how falls data had been collected in older adults, including those with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and with people with intellectual disability. The stakeholder consultations were completed to discuss falls and appropriate methods for collecting fall data. Based on the literature review findings and stakeholder consultations, three fall forms were developed – a fall risk form, a fall incident form and a fall calendar. These forms were discussed in focus group discussions. The fall risk form and the fall incident form were selected as suitable methods and tested in two pilot studies. An additional qualitative study was also conducted wherein therapists working with people with intellectual disability at risk of falling were interviewed to explore strategies they used to reduce falls. Findings from this latter study together with those from the pilot studies were used to suggest strategies to prevent falls for this population group. Results: 1. A fall incident form was developed and used to collect detailed fall-related data following a fall incident. A total of 135 individuals participated in two pilot studies and 125 falls were recorded. The fall incident form was considered as a useful and easy tool for collecting post-fall data in individuals with intellectual disability.

▼ International literature indicates that the rates of obesity are increasing in OECD countries and that there are significant health risks to individuals who are classified as obese. Research has also highlighted that obesity is likely to be more pronounced in people who have an intellectual disability (ID). Despite this association there has been little research into the reasons why this population is overrepresented in obesity statistics. Furthermore, except for the brief report derived from this thesis (Stedman & Leland, 2010), there are no published New Zealand data on the rates of obesity among people who have an intellectual disability. In the present study I accessed a database containing anonymous data for a sample of New Zealanders who have an intellectual disability. Ninety-eight participants out of 141 in the database had complete and up to date data. The group with complete data did not significantly differ from the group with incomplete data in gender or hours of staff support. Participants’ body mass index (BMI) was used to estimate rates of obesity within the sample. Comparisons were made with the general rates of obesity in adults reported by the New Zealand Ministry of Health (2008) using each of the BMI categories; underweight (< 18.50), normal (18.50 – 24.99), overweight (25.00 – 29.99) and obese (≥ 30.00). Obesity was further broken down into classes one (30.00 – 34.99), two (35.00 – 39.99) and three (≥ 40.00). There were significantly higher rates of people with a BMI ≥ 30.00, in the group who had an intellectual disability (50.98%; general population 26.50%). There were significantly more adults who had an intellectual disability in all three BMI classes, with the most significant difference in class three. While there were more obese men and women who have an intellectual disability in this sample than would be expected, women were found in higher than expected rates in class two (BMI 35.00 – 39.99) and class three (BMI ≤ 40.00). Research into the causal factors and potential interventions specific to men and women in this population to promote and maintain weight loss are warranted.

▼ Title: The feasibility of a dysphagia procedure for identification, diagnosis, intervention and evaluation of dysphagia in adults with intellectual disabilities (ID): a pilot study. Background: Because of the high prevalence of dysphagia in adults with ID, the major health risks involved and the different challenges managing dysphagia, a health improvement project started in March 2014 led by Ipse de Bruggen, a care provider service for people with ID in the Netherlands. Aim and research questions: The aim of this study is to examine the feasibility of the dysphagia procedure in adults with ID. The accompanying research question is ‘Is it feasible to implement the dysphagia procedure within Ipse de Bruggen, Zwammerdam?’ Method: Fifty-eight professionals working with 24 adults with ID and an expected dysphagia participated in this study. All the relevant steps of the dysphagia procedure must be executed within three months. Feasibility was evaluated using criteria based on the three groups of participants: speech and language therapists (SLT’s), caregivers and multidisciplinary team members. All the criteria must be met to achieve feasibility. Results: The SLT’s and the multidisciplinary team members agreed for 100% with their role and content of the dysphagia procedure. The SLT’s did not manage to execute all the steps of the dysphagia procedure for the clients with dysphagia. Also, the caregiver criteria and the criteria for collecting post-test measurements were not achieved. In summary, five of twelve feasibility criteria have been met. Conclusion: The dysphagia procedure cannot be implemented yet, due to challenges in cooperation between the caregivers and both the SLT’s and the multidisciplinary team members. Recommendations: Improving cooperation with the caregivers through i.e. qualitative research to investigate the caregiver’s perspective, considering different organisational changes and investigate in train the trainer education.

▼ Epilepsy and mental retardation limited to females (EFMR) is an intriguing X-linked disorder, which exhibits counterintuitive sex specific phenotype presentation, with heterozygous females affected and hemizygous males spared. Affected females suffer from epilepsy, which typically begins prior to three years of age. Onset of seizures often coincides with developmental regression resulting in intellectual disability. • Using high throughput sequencing of the X-chromosome we have identified 7 different mutations in protoccadherin-19 (PCDH19) in 7 families with EFMR (Dibbens et al., 2008), including the original EFMR family published in 1971 (Juberg and Hellman, 1971). The discovery of mutations in PCDH19, a calcium cell-cell adhesion molecule, in EFMR highlights protocadherins and cell adhesion molecules in general, as a novel class of genes involved in intellectual disability and epilepsy. Publication 1, appendix A, (Dibbens et al., 2008) • We have conducted follow up screening in three additional cohorts and identified additional mutations in the PCDH19 gene in smaller families and a sporadic case with EFMR. PCDH19 was not found to be a major cause of Rett syndrome or Autism Spectrum Disorder alone. Publication 2, appendix B, (Hynes et al., 2009) • We have also identified an additional, large, black Afro-American family with EFMR with a missense mutation in PCDH19 that is predicted to result in loss of function of PCDH19 protein. (Publication in preparation). • We have performed genome-wide microarray expression profiling analyses and identified altered expression of genes involved in axon guidance and cell migration in EFMR females. We also unexpectedly found that EFMR females had a “male-like” expression profile of more than 100 genes and altered expression of 10 genes which function in aspects of estrogen production, activation and degradation or that are known downstream targets of estrogen. This suggests that response to estrogen may be disrupted in certain cells. (Publication in preparation). • Through genome-wide microarray expression profiling analyses we also identified altered expression of 13 genes involved in the Ephrin / Eph signalling pathway in EFMR females. The altered expression of Ephrin / Eph signalling genes and the parallels identified between EFMR and CFNS (craniofrontonasal syndrome), with respect to inheritance pattern, lead us to hypothesise a potential interaction between PCDH19 and Ephrin / Eph signalling. In conclusion, we have identified the causative gene for EFMR and gained novel insights into additional genes and signalling pathways that are disrupted as a result of mutations in PCDH19 in females.

▼ Objectives The intent of this study was to explore the use of oral health services by a group of adults with an intellectual disability. Methods The study was an explanatory mixed-methods design. It consisted of an initial collection and analysis of quantitative data, and a second qualitative phase. In the quantitative phase of the study, a clinical audit of oral health services provided for adults with intellectual disabilities was carried out for individuals who underwent a general anaesthetic for dental treatment at Christchurch Hospital during the period of 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2009. The second, qualitative phase was then conducted to investigate the experience and perceptions of individuals with an intellectual disability (and caregivers and guardians) relating to their oral health care. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were carried out with participants for 13 individuals with an intellectual disability who had a GA for dental treatment at Christchurch Hospital between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2009. Ethical approval for this study was obtained from the Upper South A Regional Ethics committee in July 2009. Quantitative data were entered onto a database and analysed using SPSS version 17.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, USA). Qualitative data were analysed by manual coding and labelling of the data in order to identify patterns and themes that were expressed by the participants. Results The majority of individuals with intellectual disability who had dental treatment under GA at Christchurch Hospital in the 5-year period lived in care and many had severe medical issues. Most of the individuals had both restorative treatment and tooth extractions carried out under GA. The major concern for individuals with an intellectual disability was anxiety related to dental visits. Support people/guardians shared this concern, and played a vital role in helping to manage this anxiety. Many support people/guardians had difficulty identifying dental problems in those with an intellectual disability, and often relied on detection of changes in the individual’s behaviour or demeanour. While the majority of feedback on encounters with dental and medical staff was positive, problems with continuity of care were a concern. The time spent waiting in waiting rooms for check-ups or treatment was a frequently reported cause of stress to the respondents. In addition, some problems were identified with the way in which waiting areas were set up for this patient group. Conclusions As a group, these individuals present challenges for the provision of oral health care, given the severity of disability and the presence of systemic disease, and many require a high level of support for daily activities. When dental treatment is required, a GA is often necessary in order to carry out the treatment. There is potential to improve the service with a multidisciplinary approach to coordinate other health services during treatment episodes, the delivery of preventive oral health care, and the utilisation of… Advisors/Committee Members: Thomson, Murray (advisor).

▼ The association of constitutional chromosome imbalance in patients with intellectual disability with or without related dysmorphism and malformations is well established. The resolution of conventional cytogenetic examination is limited to imbalances of 5-10Mb. Patients with characteristic phenotypes which allude to a specific microdeletion or duplication syndrome may be investigated using locus specific fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH). Subtelomere FISH, a recently new improvement for cytogenetics screening, detects subtelomeric rearrangements in around 6% of patients with idiopathic disability. However it is evident that for these patients, most do not have a recurrent pattern of dysmorphism or malformations suggesting imbalance in a particular chromosome region. Array CGH has the potential to detect chromosome imbalances beyond that of current technology allowing the whole genome can be screened in a single hybridisation at a resolution limited only by the genomic distance between the arrayed target clones. The aim of this study was to develop a custom whole genome array and utilize this array to screen a number of diverse patient groups. Rather than immediately begin with the development of a whole genome array a smaller pilot study was initiated, in so enabling the efficacy of the methodology to be tested. A small clinical/ subtelomere array was designed and constructed to screen for cytogenetic imbalances within the first 5Mb of each chromosome end (excluding acrocentric chromosomes) together with the number of known clinically significant regions. This clinical/subtelomere array (chapter 3), was ulilised to map the extent of deletion and/or duplication in patients with previously determined subtelomere abnormalities. This was followed with the screening of a small group of patients with idiopathic intellectual disability (chapter 4). Novel Copy number changes were identified together with a number of changes determined to be non-pathogenic variants. The methodology used in the utilization of this array could determine copy changes in patients, however it became clearly evident that the effective resolution was compromised when a number of clones were shown to map to other sites of the genome or cross hybridise to multiple sites. With this knowledge the next stage of the project, a whole genome array, primarily constructed from a FISH validated clone set, reduced the possibility of mapping discrepancies. These FISH mapped clones did not give a even genomic coverage. All clones from this set were mapped using Ensembl resources. Any identified gaps (greater than 1Mb) were covered using clones from a second clone set (32K), giving a resolution of ~0.2-1Mb. Three diverse groups of patients were screened using the whole genome array. Using a novel scoring system which evaluated degree of intellectual disability/developmental delay, dysmorphism, presence of malformations and the presence of an apparently balanced cytogenetic rearrangement, twenty five patients with idiopathic disability were assessed.… Advisors/Committee Members: Sutherland, Grant Robert (advisor), Yu, Sui (advisor), Connolly, Ashley (advisor), School of Paediatrics and Reproductive Health : Paediatrics (school).

▼ Background: Intellectual disability (ID) is described as a neurodevelopmental disorder which occurs during the developmental period and impacts intellectual as well as adaptive functioning across social, cognitive and practical domains. Approximately 3 percent of the South African population has mild to severe forms of ID. It is well described that caregivers of children with ID and other developmental disorders have higher levels of stress related to caring for their child than parents with typically developing children. However, little research has been reported in the South African context. Objectives: 1. To determine the nature and extent of self-reported symptoms of stress in caregivers of children with intellectual disabilities. 2. To establish which demographic variables and child factors are associated with carer stress. 3. To compare the nature and extent of self-reported stress and demographic and child variables associated with stress in carers of children with intellectual disability with the same measures reported by carers whose children are developing typically. Methods: This was a purposive, descriptive analytical study. Participants were 59 caregivers whose children attended Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital outpatient clinics. The ID group comprised 35 caregivers of children with ID. The control Non-ID group had 24 caregivers of typically developing children. The children’s ages ranged from 2 to 10 years. Caregivers were administered a set of four questionnaires: a demographic questionnaire; the Parent Stress Index; the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Aberrant Behaviour Checklist that rated the children’s behaviour. The data were analysed using IBM SPSS. Results: Both the ID and Non-ID groups showed elevated scores for self-reported anxiety. The ID group of caregivers reported significantly more problem behaviours in their children than the caregivers in the Non-ID group. Hyperactive behaviour predicted for depression in the caregiver ID group which also reported higher levels of stress and significantly higher levels of depression than the Non-ID group. 49 percent of the ID group caregivers reported levels of depression in the clinical range. Further, the ID group reported significantly more financial difficulties and also more appointments for their child at health facilities than the control group. Conclusion: Carers in this study setting experienced similar stresses and described similar child behavioural problems as those reported internationally. A significant finding was the high rate of caregivers of children with ID whose depression scores were in the clinical range. Child behaviour was a significant factor associated with caregiver stress and anxiety in both study groups and with depression in caregivers of children with ID. The study findings have implications for the mental health and behavioural support needs of both caregivers of typically developing children and caregivers of children with ID and for a range of services that provide this support.

▼ Quality of life for many adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) is hindered by limited social connections, adversely impacting their ability to develop meaningful relationships. Leisure and recreation programs represent an important forum to increase opportunities for social engagement. However, research is needed to better understand how youth with IDD experience and utilize programs. The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of adolescents with IDD within the leisure and recreation context. This qualitative descriptive study explored the factors considered when adolescents with IDD select leisure or recreation settings, the barriers and facilitators to participation, and the perception of the quality of social interactions experienced in programs. Two mixed group and two segregated leisure and recreation programs in Upstate New York were selected for participation, and eleven youth with IDD, between the ages of 11-19 years of age, were recruited for this study. A modified version of photovoice was utilized for data collection, allowing youth to capture and describe their experiences in their programs through the use of digital photography. Results of this study indicate that the opportunity to meet new people, develop intimate friendships, and have fun is most important to youth with IDD. This study also suggests that there is a need for both mixed group and segregated program settings. The quality of social interactions and feelings of social acceptance and inclusion were experienced differently between settings. Youth in mixed group programs often chose not disclose their disabilities, and opted to be passive participants in their programs. However, in segregated programs, youth openly identified as persons with disabilities, and were more willing to fully engage in program activities and take social risks. Recommendations for practice are provided, with emphasis on strategies to promote enhanced participation and acceptance of adolescents with IDD in leisure and recreation programs. Additionally, a discussion of potential changes in policy that might lead to improvements in program responsiveness to the needs of youth with IDD is offered.

▼ During the late thirteenth century the English Crown claimed the right to take the lands of so-called idiots into its possession, and developed a set of juridical practices to assess whether these individuals were mentally competent enough to rule themselves and their property. This dissertation examines how these developments informed the way society imagined intellectual disability in the Middle Ages and beyond. Since the publication of Foucault's Madness and Civilization, scholars have treated insanity as a concept with a cultural history. Less however has been written about the conceptual history of "idiocy." People outside the academy naturally assume that intelligence and its absence are natural categories, while historians who work on the cultural history of intellectual disability tend to locate its emergence in early modern medical discourses. Rejecting both of these claims, Inventing Idiocy suggests that intellectual disability was not initially a medical concept, but an invention of medieval jurists and administrators concerned with practical matters of land and inheritance. For while a concept of idiocy existed in the Middle Ages, the idiocy that preoccupied medieval jurists had little to do with a specific idea of intelligence. Rather it was a narrow legal term, used to refer to people who were unable to manage landed wealth. People outside the legal profession had little idea what idiocy entailed, and no disorder resembling the law's idea of idiocy-or our own-existed in medieval medicine. Nevertheless hundreds of alleged idiots were called before the courts between the late thirteenth and early fifteenth centuries. Examining records of these inquisitions, I show that qualities associated with idiocy in later medical discourses reflected the idea of mental incompetency that arose in of these contested trials. In doing so, I reject the view that intellectual disability originated when medical discourse supplanted older religious constructions of foolishness, and is indeed medical in origin. Instead, I suggest that a stable and distinctive concept of intellectual disability entered Western thought when a category invented by lawyers to deal with practical problems of inheritance burgeoned beyond the legal sphere, and became assimilated into general culture.

▼ This thesis explored attachment in individuals with intellectual disability (ID). It investigated the role that attachment may have in presenting difficulties, including trauma symptoms, which has a growing body of literature, particularly in people without ID. Paper 1 describes a systematic review of the available literature relating to the psychological well-being of young people with ID in the UK who are 'looked after children' (LAC) or who live away from their birth families. Evidence suggests that both LAC and people with ID, may be vulnerable to developing mental health difficulties. However, there is a paucity of research investigating the psychological well-being of young people with ID who are LAC or who live away from birth families. 17 studies were reviewed, which ranged between 21% and 71% in quality as measured by the QATSDD (Sirriyeh, Lawton, Gardner, & Armitage, 2012). . Only one study was found that directly focused on the psychological well-being of LAC with an ID. The available studies offered some insights into the prevalence, characteristics of young people with ID who are LAC or who live away from their birth families and some of the psychological difficulties they encounter. However, given the methodological limitations of the included studies, no firm conclusions could be drawn. Paper 2 describes an empirical study that investigated the relationship between attachment security and trauma symptoms in adults with ID. 27 staff and service users participated in the research. Service user participants completed a self-report questionnaire regarding trauma symptoms with the researcher and staff participants provided demographic information and completed questionnaires that measured attachment security, trauma symptoms, depressive mood and traumatic events in relation to the service user. No relationship was found between attachment security and trauma symptoms. However, it provided tentative evidence with respect to the type of traumatic events experienced by people with ID and of the prevalence of mental health difficulties in people with ID. There were however several methodological limitations, including a small sample size. Implications for future research and clinical practice are outlined. Paper 3 provides a critical and personally reflective account of undertaking the systematic review and empirical study as outlined above. Strengths and limitations of the research are interwoven throughout. Recommendations for future research and implications for practice are also considered.

Degree awarded: Ph.D. Nursing. The Catholic University of America

This descriptive, correlational study (N = 33) examined health-care services (services) used by community-dwelling adults with developmental disability (DD) who have risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Tremendous change has occurred for adults with DD as they are living longer and have adopted lifestyles similar to their non-disabled peers. They have experienced increased rates of CVD and frequently die sudden deaths from untreated CVD. Using Aday's Theoretical Framework for the Study of Access to Medical Care, the purposes of this study were; 1) to describe the types of services used by these adults, 2) to determine if services used were those recommended by national treatment guidelines for prevention of CVD, and 3) to explore the relationships between the recommended services used and risk scores (measured by the 10-Year CVD Risk Calculator), residential setting, and functional status (measured by the World Health Organization's Disability Assessment Schedule II). Study participants and their knowledgeable proxies provided documents describing services used during the past year. Services used were compared to those recommended by the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of CVD. Study participants used publicly funded health insurance plans to obtain a myriad of services. Statistical analysis showed no correlation between the use of all services and the use of recommended services for CVD. Correlations were found between age (r = .711, p < 0.01, N = 33, 2-tailed) and need (r = .365, p < 0.05, N = 33, 2-tailed) and the use of recommended services for CVD. Use of recommended services was not related to residential setting or functional status of the study participants. Post hoc findings included: recommended services to prevent CVD were being delivered by family practice physicians during visits to address CVD, and no correlations were found between common socioeconomic health determinants (knowledgeable proxies' and adults' with DD education and income levels) and the use of recommended services for adults with DD. More research with larger sample sizes is needed to better understand the factors that influence the use of recommended services given this population's multitude of vulnerabilities.

▼ While federal policies such as NCLB, IDEA, and ESSA have placed increased accountability on states to deliver instruction aligned to the grade-level mathematics standards for all students, teaching functional skills to students with significant intellectual disabilities remains a predominant practice. The purpose of this study was to explore mathematics instruction for high school students with significant intellectual disabilities (SID), factors that influenced special education teachers’ math instruction and curriculum design at the secondary level, and to determine barriers that may interfere with the delivery of standards-based mathematics instruction. A statewide sample of 75 Illinois secondary special educators who deliver math instruction to students with SID completed a survey that examined their perceptions related to the implementation of national mathematics standards and evidence-based practices in the areas of: (a) knowledge and familiarity with mathematics topics, (b) beliefs about mathematics instruction for students with significant intellectual disabilities, (c) preparation in mathematics instruction, (d) enactment of mathematics content and instructional strategies, and (e) challenges to teaching effective mathematics instruction. Respondents reported mostly teaching functional math skills, such as time and money to students with SID. Further, special education teachers determined the curriculum in isolation, with limited opportunities for collaboration. The findings also revealed that special education teachers endorsed stronger content knowledge of curriculum adaptations than mathematics subject matter. Though no predictors were found that contributed to the content taught, there was a large, positive correlation between how often each content area was taught to how important teachers rated the content area for their students with SID. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

▼ Background: Young people with mild intellectual disabilities (MID) seem to have negative feelings about sexuality and a low level of sexual knowledge and experience. Their vision is influenced by that of their caregivers. Their caregivers are often negative about sexuality in young people with MID. Aim: Gain more knowledge about the vision towards sexuality of youngsters with MID and compare it with the vision high school students. Furthermore, to gain more insight into the vision of professional caregivers about sexuality and relationships of youngsters with MID and behavioral problems who are treated in a residential facility. Methods: 27 youngsters with MID living in a residential institution and 138 high school students were included. For measuring the vision about sexuality, the Attitude, Behaviour, Experience and Knowledge questionnaire was used. 62 professional caregivers of youngsters with MID filled out the Sexuality and Mentally Retarded Attitude Inventory. Results: Youngsters with MID are moderately positive about sexuality. They have a neutral vision towards masturbation, watching porn, going to a prostitute and homosexuality. Girls are more negative than boys regarding heterosexual activities such as kissing, hugging and having sex. The vision of Youngsters with MID is more negative towards homosexual than about heterosexual acts. The outcomes of Youngsters with MID were compared with high school students. The high school students were slightly more positive about impersonal things (masturbation, watching pornography and going to a prostitute). The professional caregivers of the youngsters with MID have a moderately liberal vision towards sexuality by youngsters with MID. Their vision is not related with their educational level or age. Conclusion: Youngsters with MID have a moderately positive vision about sexuality. Youngsters with MID are slightly negative about homosexuality, but similar findings were found by high school students. The high school students were slightly more negative about impersonal things. The vision of the professional caregivers is overall positive. Advisors/Committee Members: Douma, J., Florisson, D..
