SI 2017: The NIH Toolbox: Scoring/Using Standardized Tests in Adults with ID/DD

Assessment of cognitive abilities in persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities has important implications for research, qualification for services, and monitoring the effects of intervention. However, many standardized tests are ill-suited for this population, especially those in the moderate and severe ranges. This presentation summarized the limitations of testing in the field and provide evidence of the potential utility, reliability and validity of the NIH Toolbox Cognitive Battery for intellectual and developmental disabilities.
