Study Description

Brief Summary

Adults with intellectual disabilities have great difficulty in adapting to social situations and relationships. Cognitive impairment associated with intellectual disability are important factors to understand their difficulties in processing social information. In the field of recognition of facial emotions in particular, basic cognitive processes such as visuospatial and attentional functions, are heavily involved. Cognitive remediation is a management tool widely used by practitioners to help patients who experience cognitive difficulties. Currently, no program can meet specific and validated the problems are adults with intellectual disabilities manner in their daily functioning

Detailed Description

Réhabilitus is a remediation program focused on attentional functions and visuospatial, to limit the presence of behavioral disorders among adults with intellectual disabilities. The main objective is to validate the effectiveness of Réhabilitus program on behavioral disorders in adults with intellectual disabilities without autism spectrum disorder associated.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: REHABILITUS

Réhabilitus is a cognitive remediation program focused on the functions of attention and visuospatial that is to say that can move in space, to perceive objects of our environment and organize them, to mentally imagine a physically absent operation object very involved in social behavior, in order to limit the presence of behavioral disorders among adults with intellectual disabilities.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in sub-score hyperactivity / non compliance on Aberrant Behavior Checklist scale [6 months]

    Aberrant Behavior Checklist scale (ABC) The ABC scale [20] is a 58-item scale for people close to the autistic person. Scores are distributed in five subscale: irritability, agitation, crying; of lethargy and social withdrawal; stereotyped behaviors; hyperactivity; inappropriate language.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. This measure is repeated at the end of the intervention to highlight the impact of the " Cognitus and Me " program, and 6 months later to investigate the possible long-lasting effects of the benefits [6 months]

    ABC scale (Irritability and social withdrawal)

  2. Change from baseline in facial emotion recognition task [6 months]

    Facial Emotions Recognition Task (TREF)

  3. Change from baseline in attentional functions [6 months]

    Sustained Attention on LEITER-3 Battery Attention scales and memory - forward memory, reverse memory, sustained attention, divided attention, non-verbal stroop.
