Closes 30 June 2025
If you are involved in assessments considering a diagnosis of intellectual disability, you will be aware that there is no guidance about how to assess intellectual functioning when modifications or adaptations are insufficient to allow clients to engage in a standardised assessment. We are conducting a study to investigate current practices of clinicians working with this population to better support evidence based practice.
If you are a fully Registered Psychologist who conducts assessments that include consideration of a diagnosis of intellectual disability, we would love to know more about your practices. If this is not you, we would be most grateful if you could circulate within your networks and to colleagues.
To participate, please either:
- Contact us to participate in an interview (up to 1 hour in person or online) at a time that works for you so that we can gain an in-depth understanding of your practice (email – [email protected]) or
- Complete an online survey (via the "Start the Survey" link below), which takes up to 30 minutes to complete (depending on your experience).
If you have any questions or would like to know more about the study, please review the attached information sheet or contact Chief Investigator Dr Karen Oakley ([email protected])
We would also be most grateful if you could circulate this to any colleagues.
Thank you very much for your help.
