Data from Norway were analyzed to evaluate early behavioral intervention for children with intellectual disabilities. The intervention group (n = 11) received approximately 10 hours per week of behavioral intervention; the eclectic comparison group (n = 14) received treatment as usual. After 1 year, changes in intelligence and adaptive behavior scores were statistically significant in favor of the behavioral intervention group (effect sizes of 1.13 for Intelligence quotient (IQ) change and .95 for change in adaptive behavior composite). Approximately 64% of the children in the behavioral intervention group met objective criteria for reliable change in IQ, whereas 14% in the eclectic comparison group did so. These results suggest that children with intellectual disability may profit from behavioral intervention typically provided for children with autism.
对挪威的数据进行了分析,以评估针对智力障碍儿童的早期行为干预。干预组(n = 11)每周接受大约 10 小时的行为干预;折衷对照组(n = 14)接受常规治疗。1 年后,行为干预组的智力和适应行为评分的变化具有统计学意义(智商变化的效应量为 1.13,适应行为综合变化的效应量为.95)。行为干预组中约有 64%的儿童符合智商可靠变化的客观标准,而折衷对照组中只有 14%的儿童符合。这些结果表明,智力障碍儿童可能从通常为自闭症儿童提供的行为干预中受益。
