  • Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness of Models of Healthcare for People With Intellectual Disability in Australia: A Scoping Review. [Journal Article]
    J Intellect Disabil Res. 2026 Jul 18. [Online ahead of print]Downs J, Prodanovic D, … Foley KRJI
  • CONCLUSIONS: The models of care were heterogeneous, and evaluations indicated positive outcomes including better health outcomes and reduced costs. The scope of evaluations and therefore generalisability of findings was limited. More high-quality research and suitable measures of outcome are needed to guide the design of best practice healthcare for people with intellectual disability. These findings provide important guidance for the implementation of the National Roadmap for Improving the Health of People with Intellectual Disability, a current policy initiative in Australia. The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of cross-sectoral care coordination suggest that coordinated care at the intersection of the health and disability sectors could improve health outcomes. We suggest that strategies for effective delivery of healthcare are structured and standardised to enable more widespread implementation and evaluation by policy makers and practitioners.

  • Psychosocial Well-Being and Caregiving Challenges Among Parents of Children With 1p36 Deletion Syndrome. [Journal Article]
    J Intellect Disabil Res. 2026 Jul 18. [Online ahead of print]Watanabe M, Kibe C, … Miyake HJI
  • CONCLUSIONS: Parents of children with 1p36 deletion syndrome experience limited access to information from medical and genetic specialists, diverse medical and welfare challenges across developmental stages, and potentially high levels of affiliate stigma. These findings suggest the need for psychosocial support that considers the potential impact of affiliate stigma and is tailored to the evolving challenges experienced across the child's developmental stages.

  • Belonging in Reduced-Size Classrooms: Student Outcomes Among Chinese Upper Secondary Students With Intellectual and Other Documented Disabilities. [Journal Article]
    J Intellect Disabil Res. 2026 Jul 08. [Online ahead of print]Shang P, Wu Y, Chen LJI
  • CONCLUSIONS: Reduced-size placement was associated with more favourable student-reported outcomes when students perceived stronger relational security, individualized instruction and teacher support. Because placement was nonrandom and the quantitative data were cross-sectional, findings should be interpreted as associational rather than causal. The study shifts attention from a simple inclusion-versus-segregation binary toward placement quality and support processes that may be especially relevant for students with substantial support needs in upper secondary education.

  • Evaluating Scoring Mechanisms for Measuring the Stroop Effect in Individuals With Down Syndrome. [Journal Article]
    J Intellect Disabil Res. 2026 Jul 03. [Online ahead of print]Denne E, Fidler D, … Esbensen AJJI
  • CONCLUSIONS: For consistency in how the Cat/Dog Stroop task is scored for children and adults with DS, we recommend that the number of correct responses in the incongruent condition should be divided by completion time in the incongruent condition. Additionally, for adults, incongruent completion time minus the congruent completion time or incongruent completion time divided by congruent completion time may also be appropriate.

  • Repetitive Behaviours in Williams Syndrome: A Cross-Cultural Comparison Between the United Kingdom and Japan. [Journal Article]
    J Intellect Disabil Res. 2026 Jun 28. [Online ahead of print]Hirai M, Asada K, … Riby DJI
  • CONCLUSIONS: These findings are consistent with previous studies of caregiver-reported RRBs among autistic individuals, suggesting that insistence on sameness and circumscribed interests may be reported differently across cultural contexts. In WS, caregiver-reported RBQ profiles may vary by cultural context and show tentative cross-sectional age-related patterns, highlighting the need to consider contextual and developmental factors when interpreting parent-report measures of these behaviours.

  • Validation of the Q87.11 ICD Code for Prader-Willi Syndrome. [Journal Article]
    J Intellect Disabil Res. 2026 Jun 24. [Online ahead of print]Luccarelli J, Strong TV, McCoy THJI
  • CONCLUSIONS: A single use of the Q87.11 diagnostic code produces excellent sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV for identifying patients with PWS, although sensitivity is lower for individual outpatient encounters compared with inpatient ones. The overall accuracy of the Q87.11 code supports the validity of using this code in the analysis of administrative claims datasets.
