“…A study comparing youth welfare involved adolescents with mild to borderline ID (n = 40) to youth without ID (n = 106) found no significant differences in rates of self-reported romantic attachment style. Avoidant attachment style was, however, more strongly associated with being victim and perpetrator of dating violence in youth with mild to borderline ID (Weiss et al 2011).…”

Of the various attachment-related concepts, insights into attachment behaviours and relationships showed the most promise for practical applications in the field of intellectual disabilities. Findings on representations, styles and disorders were inconclusive or preliminary. Attachment-informed research and practice can be part of emerging developmental understanding of functioning with intellectual disabilities.

“…However, during adolescence, individuals with learning disabilities report less secure attachment relationships with both mothers and fathers compared to their typically developing peers (Al-Yagon 2012). Moreover, there is growing evidence to suggest that youth with intellectual disabilities may be less likely to be classified as securely attached compared to their typically developing peers and peers with other types of disabilities (Weiss et al 2011). …”

Adolescents with disabilities face many challenges common to their typically developing peers. However, the ways that they resolve them may differ. The focus of this narrative overview was to summarize results from the disabilities in adolescence literature, highlight common research directions, evaluate the overall big picture of this literature, and draw conclusions based on general interpretations. Evidence suggests that the literature in this field of study is lacking. Suggestions for improvement include increasing the number of studies that focus specifically on adolescence across the various types of disabilities, establishing a theoretical base to anchor research, forming cohesion across disabilities among researchers, and taking a comprehensive approach to intervention studies. By addressing these issues in future research, scholarly knowledge will be increased, but more importantly, the lives of young people with disabilities can be greatly enhanced.

“…In these issues, several articles are written using data from studies which collect information directly from the client. Information collected during the Maltreatment and Adolescent Pathways (MAP) Longitudinal Study (Goldstein et al 2011;Stewart et al 2011;Tanaka et al 2011;Weiss et al 2011), was gathered from adolescents who were randomly selected from an active child welfare caseload. The Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Study involved adolescents who may or may not have been on active caseloads (Hamilton et al 2011), but who reported a historical involvement with the child welfare system.…”
