What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Aberrant Behavior Checklist scale

    Change in sub-score " hyperactivity / non compliance " (scale " Aberrant Behavior Checklist ") (completed by parents or the educational team). 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.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. MDI-C scale ( Multiscore Depression Inventory for Children scale)

    The Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Community (ABC-C; Aman \& Singh, 1994) is a rating scale that measures the severity of a range of problem behaviors commonly observed in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities

    Measured: 6 months

  2. KIDSCREEN-27 scale

    The KIDSCREEN-27 with five dimensions resulted. All five dimensions are Rasch scales: Physical Well-Being (5 items), Psychological Well-Being (7 items), Autonomy \& Parents (7 items), Peers \& Social Support (4 items), and School Environment (4 items).

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Vineland 2 scale (Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale)

    A measure of adaptive behavior from birth to adulthood

    Measured: 6 months

  4. ABC scale (Irritability and social withdrawal)

    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

    Measured: 6 months
