Intellectual Disability

137
Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

Area of Science:

  • Psychometrics
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • The Adaptive Ability Performance Test (ADAPT) was created to evaluate adaptive skills.
  • It targets individuals with intellectual disabilities and borderline intellectual functioning, including those with co-occurring mental disorders.
  • This study builds upon prior research concerning the ADAPT.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a factor analytic study of the Adaptive Ability Performance Test (ADAPT).
  • To validate the ADAPT as a measure of adaptive skills in specific populations.

Main Methods:

  • Collected 1,066 ADAPT results from individuals with intellectual disabilities or borderline intellectual functioning.
  • Included 129 ADAPTs from the general population for comparison.
  • Gathered additional data such as IQ, psychiatric diagnoses, and living situation.
  • Performed exploratory factor analysis (EFA) followed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and multigroup CFA.

Main Results:

  • Exploratory factor analysis yielded good fit indices.
  • Confirmatory factor analysis and multigroup CFA demonstrated acceptable to good fit.
  • The analysis resulted in a refined ADAPT instrument comprising eight factors and 62 items.

Conclusions:

  • Factor analytic findings support the ADAPT's validity as an instrument for measuring adaptive skills.
  • The ADAPT is suitable for use with individuals diagnosed with intellectual disabilities or borderline intellectual functioning.
