Background Self-rating scales are widely used in general adult practice; however, there is no reliable and valid method for assessing state anxiety in people with intellectual disability (ID). The present study describes the development and psychometric evaluation of a new scale, the Glasgow Anxiety Scale for People with an Intellectual Disability (GAS-ID). Methods First, an item pool was generated from focus groups, a review of the literature and clinician feedback. Secondly, a draft scale was administered to  anxious and  non-anxious people with ID for further validation and appraisal of reliability. Thirdly, the scale was completed by  anxious, non-ID people for cross-validation with the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Finally, physiological concomitants were validated by pulse-oximetry. Results The  -item GAS-ID discriminated anxious from non-anxious participants, had good test-retest reliability ( r =  .  ) and internal consistency ( a =  .  ), and was reasonably correlated with the BAI ( r =  .  ). The correlation between the physiological subscale of the GAS-ID and changes in pulse rate was moderately significant ( r =  .  ). Conclusions This preliminary study suggests that the GAS-ID offers a psychometrically robust and practi-

“…1994). Evidence in support of the hypothesis that challenging behaviour could have a communicative function was offered by Lindsay & Walker (1999), who cited the case of an individual who engaged in a high frequency of physical aggression. As a punishment for this challenging behaviour, staff used to put the individual outside in the garden in seclusion.…”

From their functional analysis, Lindsay & Walker (1999) argued that the individual engaged in the aggressive behaviours in order to communicate his desire to go outside. Carr et al .…”

The present paper describes an evaluation of the effects of relocation on the challenging and communicative behaviours of four individuals with severe learning disabilities who moved from a hospital for people with learning disabilities into a community project home. The study was longitudinal, spanning a period of 3 years, and used the Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scale, the Checklist of Challenging Behaviours and direct observations of the participants' behaviours. There was an overall decrease in the individuals' adaptive behaviours and inactivity levels, whilst there were increases in their communicative and challenging behaviours. These results are not easily accounted for by the Communication Hypothesis of Problem Behaviour, which would suggest an inverse relationship between functional communication and challenging behaviour. Alternative explanations which may account for the results obtained are considered. Somewhat surprisingly, it is concluded that the participants appeared to increase all their interactions within the community environment, including their communication and challenging behaviours.
