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

该项目将解决缺乏对智障儿童心理社会和身体健康(PPW；例如自我概念、抑郁、行为问题、身体健康、体重)的驱动因素的实证研究(ID)。这项建议提出了一个广泛的研究计划，旨在了解学校生活和体育活动(PA)对澳大利亚智障儿童PPW的影响。该计划调查：学校生活和PPW之间的关系；PA的好处、障碍和预测因素；调节因素(个人特征、教育环境)。总体目标是促进这一领域的理论和研究，并为干预策略提供信息，以促进ID儿童更积极的未来。

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.
