“…Moderate correlation between adaptive and QOL domains were found, with lower scores in adaptive' self-direction and responsibility domains, although signifi cant and positive [17,20]. Adaptive behavior is the strongest predictor for a life with quality [23].…”

“…Adaptive behavior is the strongest predictor for a life with quality [23]. The analysis between supports needs and QOL domains' correlations showed stronger scores between domestic and community activities, and weak scores with wellbeing eventually explained by the mismatch between supports needs and supports received [4,20].

“…Supports needs assessment should also be considered [16]. Adaptive behavior and supports are different but related constructs [16,17] with strong (most scores above .71) but negative correlations [18][19][20]. Higher correlation scores were found between supports daily life activities and adaptive independent functioning (.84) and domestic activity (.85).…”

Background:The increased scientifi c recognition of Quality of Life (QOL) and adaptive behavior constructs implies changes in practice aligned with the supports person-centred provision. The alignment between these constructs is been recently proven at theoretical level but it still lacks of practical evidences-based.Purpose: This article' goal is to analyses the practical relations among measures of all constructs, through the examination how psychomotor therapy, as one of the supports provided, to adults with Intellectual Disability (ID), can contribute for a better adaptive behavior performance and for a life with more quality. The three Portuguese versions of Adaptive Behavior, Supports Intensity and Personal Outcomes Scales were applied to 11 adults with IDD, between 24 and 45 years (32.64±6.92), fi ve females and six males, institutionalized. All participants were assessed in three different moments: before and after intervention, and one month later for the retention assessment. Baseline results allowed the planning and implementation of a 6-month psychomotor program, with weekly sessions of 50 minutes. Results:Results showed better adaptive level and positive personal outcomes, as well a reduction of supports needs. Psychomotor therapy may have positive effects on independent functioning level of adults with IDD. Further, results pointed out a positive and moderate correlation between QOL and adaptive behavior but negative and moderate with supports needs. and social/language skills are also affected [8]. Cognitive limitations will restraint learning processes, needing more time for the task [11] and showing a lower motor accuracy [12]. Several variables infl uence adaptive pattern development [8,13,14].The exclusively identifi cation of intellectual and adaptive profi le are not enough for a real comprehension of individual functioning [3] that is infl uenced by the complexity and number of contexts and daily life activities [15]. Supports needs assessment should also be considered [16]. Adaptive behavior and supports are different but related constructs [16,17] with strong (most scores above .71) but negative correlations [18][19][20]. Higher correlation scores were found between supports daily life activities and adaptive independent functioning (.84) and domestic activity (.85). Lower scores were found in vocational and Abbreviations ID: Intellectual Disability; QoL: Quality of Life

“…A QV inclui as noções de autodeterminação, inclusão, capacitação e igualdade entre todos (Schalock & Verdugo, 2002), proporcionando uma linguagem comum e universal capaz de dimensionar as pessoas com deficiência num quadro social e ecológico (Simões, Santos, Biscaia, & Thompson, 2016), que combate a discriminação e refresca a noção da capacitação das pessoas com DI.…”

Resumo: A presente investigação apresenta os resultados de um estudo piloto que tem como objetivos efetuar a adaptação cultural da Escala Pessoal de Resultados-Crianças e Jovens (EPR-CJ), bem como examinar a sua validade e fiabilidade. Esta escala possibilita avaliar a Qualidade de Vida (QV) das crianças e jovens com Dificuldade Intelectual (DI). Das diferentes amostras englobadas nesta investigação, salienta-se que a amostra final incluiu 54 crianças e jovens com DI e 54 profissionais de educação. O estudo iniciou com a aplicação das diretrizes internacionais relativas à adaptação cultural. Os resultados do Índice de Validade de Conteúdo (IVC) dos itens, do acordo universal do IVC do instrumento, da média do IVC da escala e dos valores do Kappa de Cohen suportaram a validade de conteúdo, tendo as correlações de Pearson reforçado a validade de constructo da EPR-CJ. Os valores do teste-reteste, da consistência interna e do 156 acordo entre observadores sustentaram a fiabilidade do instrumento. Os diferentes coeficientes psicométricos ilustraram que esta escala pode ser bastante útil para a avaliação da QV das crianças e jovens com DI, sendo a EPR-CJ crucial para desenhar os programas de intervenção destes alunos em contextos inclusivos de aprendizagem. Palavras-chave: Dificuldade Intelectual, Qualidade de Vida, Validade, Fiabilidade. (ID). Of the several samples involved in the research, it is stressed that the final sample included 54 children and adolescents with ID and 54 education support staff. The research started with the application of the cross-cultural adaptation' guidelines. The results of the Content Validity Index (CVI) of each item, the scale CVI-universal agreement, the scale CVI average and the Cohen's kappa scores supported the content validity, and the Pearson's correlations confirmed the construct validity of the POS-C. The test-retest, the internal consistency and the inter-rater reliability supported the reliability of the tool. The different psychometric coefficients demonstrate that this scale may be advantageous to assess the QOL of children and adolescents with ID, as well as to design the intervention programs of those students in inclusive contexts of learning. Abstract: The present research presents the results of an initial study that aims to analyze the cross-cultural adaptation of the Personal Outcomes Scale-Children and Adolescents (POS-C), as well as to examine its validity and reliability. This scale assesses the Quality of Life (QOL) of children and adolescents with Intellectual Disability
