Learning disabilities

[Cleaver]

It's great to see motivated physios working with people with LD! I'm a Canadian physio and current masters epidemiology beginning my thesis. Although I don't have significant experience with this population, I've chosen a thesis subject that pertains to people with LD (we use the term intellectual disability in Canada). My project will address physical mobility limitations in adults (45 and older) with intellectual disability. I have yet to develop the exact research question, but I will most likely be trying to establish the prevalence and severity of mobility limitations in a community sample in southeastern Ontario.

Is there any advice that you would give for such a project? I too am looking for outcome measures, preferably a survey addressing physical mobility that has been validated in this population and can be completed by a proxy.

Any and all comments are welcome!

Hi. I am doing my masters in Paediatric. Can anyone give some refrences with respect to hand function or graphomotor skills or cognitive impirments in either learning disability or slow learners. Any related articles would also be appreciated.

I would really appreciate ur time and effort.

I have been finding it actually impossible to get any leads in this aspect. I've searched as much sites and books as possible.
