“…The first component accounted for 68% of score variance for the B-cohort and 74% of score variance for the K-cohort. We identified children as having low cognitive ability if they scored more than one standard deviation below the sample mean on the first extracted component, the cut-off point used to identify borderline intellectual functioning in older children and adults (Peltopuro, Ahonen, Kaartinen, Seppala, & Narhi, 2014;Salvador-Carulla et al, 2013). This led to the identification of 95 of 651 (14.6%) children in the B-cohort and 89 of 499 (17.8%) children in the K-cohort for whom data were available with low cognitive ability.…”

Family and cultural inclusion are essential for the healthy development of young Australian Indigenous peoples with low cognitive ability. To date, this issue has received limited research attention. A secondary analysis of data collected in Wave 4 of Footprints in Time, Australia's Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children, was conducted to help address this research gap. The study results indicated that in some areas, Indigenous children with low cognitive ability are at a higher risk of social exclusion than their peers. We discuss the policy implications of these findings with regards to addressing Indigenous disadvantage. IntroductionIn Western societyThere is considerable evidence to suggest that , children with low cognitive ability, along with children and young people with a disability in general, are at increased risk of often exclusionded from participating in family events, significant cultural practices, political engagement and education and community-based activities (UNICEF, 2007; World Health Organization and UNICEF, 2012; World Health Organization and World Bank, 2011). This is potentially a of major concern for Indigenous children, as research shows that engagement and participation in Indigenous culture and kinship systems play an integral role to the healthy development of children (Kelly, Dudgeon, Gee, & Glaskin, 2009;Lohoar, Butera, & Kennedy, 2014;Maher, 1999; Wise, 2013).The World Health Organization (WHO) (Alderete, 1999) has identified how European colonisation and colonialism have had a drastic effect on the health and welfare of millions of Indigenous peoples around the world. European colonisation attempted to destroy Indigenous cultural identity through Euro-centric assimilationist policies and practices (Hollinsworth, 2013). These Page 3 of 30 assaults on Indigenous cultural heritage and family/community solidarity are considered root causes of Indigenous communities around the world reporting higher rates of ill-health, disease and disability than their non-Indigenous counterparts

“…Borderline Intellectual Functioning (BIF) is a complex clinical entity that has received poor scientific investigation [1, 2]. According to the CONFIL consensus group [3], BIF can be defined as a “ health meta-condition … characterized by various cognitive dysfunctions associated with an intellectual quotient (IQ) between 71 and 85 which determines a deficit in the individual’s functioning both in the restriction of activities and in the limitation of social participation ”.…”

Excluding BIF due to genetic and chromosomal abnormalities syndromes, the mostly frequent causes related to this condition are biological factors, like perinatal complications, and epigenetic factors related to the social environment such as maltreatment, abuse, neglect and high level of maternal stress [1, 4–7]. It is estimated that the prevalence of “non genetic” BIF ranges between 7 to 12% [2, 3] but the lack of terminological consensus and specific diagnostic code in the DSM-V [8] and ICD10 [9] makes it difficult to have a precise estimate.…”

BackgroundBorderline intellectual functioning (BIF) is defined as a “health meta-condition… characterized by various cognitive dysfunctions associated with an intellectual quotient (IQ) between 71 and 85 which determines a deficit in the individual’s functioning both in the restriction of activities and in the limitation of social participation”. It can be caused by many factors, including a disadvantaged background and prematurity. BIF affects 7–12% of primary school children that show academic difficulties due to poor executive functioning. In many children with BIF, language, movement and social abilities are also affected, making it difficult to take part in daily activities. Dropping out of school and psychological afflictions such as anxiety and depression are common in children with BIF.This study investigates whether an intensive rehabilitation program that involves all of the areas affected in children with BIF (Movement, Cognition and Narration of emotions, MCNT) is more effective than Standard Speech Therapy (SST).MethodsThis is a multicenter interventional single blind randomized controlled study. Children aged between 6 to 11 years who attend a mainstream primary school and have multiple learning difficulties, behavioral problems and an IQ ranging between 85 to 70 have been enrolled. Participants are randomly allocated to one of three groups. The first group receives individual treatment with SST for 45 min, twice a week for 9 months. The second group receives the experimental treatment MCNT for 3 h per day, 5 days/ week for 9 months and children work in small groups. The third group consists of children on a waiting list for the SST for nine months.DiscussionBIF is a very frequent condition with no ad hoc treatment. Over the long term, there is a high risk to develop psychiatric disorders in adulthood. Due to its high social impact, we consider it very important to intervene during childhood so as to intercept the remarkable plasticity of the developing brain.Trial registration“Study Let them grow: A new intensive and multimodal Treatment for children with borderline intellectual functioning based on Movement, Cognition and Narration of emotions”, retrospectively registered in ISRCTN Register with ISRCTN81710297 at 2017–01-09.
