Furthering Positive Futures for Children with Intellectual Disabilities: A Longitudinal Investigation

该项目将解决缺乏对智力残疾儿童的社会心理和身体健康（PPW；例如自我概念、抑郁、行为问题、身体健康、体重）驱动因素的实证研究的问题。该提案提出了一项广泛的研究计划，旨在了解学校生活和体育活动（PA）对澳大利亚ID儿童PPW的影响。本节目探讨：学校生活与PPW之间的关系；PA的优势、障碍和预测因素；主持人（个人特点，教育背景）。总体目标是推进这一领域的理论和研究，并为干预策略提供信息，进一步为患有ID的儿童创造更积极的未来。

This project will address the paucity of empirical research on drivers of psychosocial and physical well-being (PPW; for example self-concept, depression, behavioural problems, physical fitness, weight) of children with Intellectual Disabilities (ID). This proposal presents an extensive research program aimed at understanding the effects of school life and Physical Activity (PA) on PPW for Australian children with ID. This program examines: the relations between school life and PPW; the benefits, barriers and predictors of PA; moderators (personal characteristics, educational settings). The overarching objective is to advance theory and research in this area, and to inform intervention strategies furthering more positive futures for children with ID.
