Description

We present a new questionnaire to assess quality of life of children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities according to the eight-domain quality of life model proposed by Schalock and Verdugo (2002). We provide reliability and validity evidence of the scale, as well as the results obtained after the administration to a large sample. Implications for professionals, researchers, and policy makers are discussed.
