 * Adams, D., & Oliver, C. (2011). The expression and assessment of emotions and internal states in individuals with severe or profound intellectual disabilities. Clinical Psychology Review, 31(3), 293-306**

This article expressed all the different types of feelings that people diagnosed with profound or severe intellectual disability can go through like anxiety, depression, and how they express themselves to others. It really talked about how they had to deal with their emotions because of the lack of communication that was there, not many people may be able to understand them. It really got into the struggles they had to deal with but also had methods for it.

I chose this article because it really gave a good description of each ID that I could actually understand. It also talked about the intellectual disabilities with respect which some articles did not so I found that a really big plus that I liked with this one. It gave me a good grasp on what profound and severe ID was like and some of the struggles they had to deal with, and the struggles other people might have to over come to help people that are diagnosed with this.


 * Kearney, D. S., & Healy, O. (2011). Investigating the relationship between challenging behavior, co-morbid psychopathology and social skills in adults with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities in Ireland. Research In Developmental Disabilities, 32(5), 1556-1563.**

Kearney and Healy did an experiment with people who were diagnosed with intellectual disability ranging from moderate to severe were in a study group that they did. They did a study with a behavioral test called DASH-II. It described the behavioral problems that each ID dealt with and which social skill they most likely would have and how severe it would be. It also gave some ways on how to help the children with their social skill issues.

I really liked this articled because it used actual people. Also it showed a test that none of the test did. It used the test DAHS-II which no other article even said there was a test to measure the behavior of people. Also it talked about the social skills which really helped me because social skills are a big part about being in a classroom.

Many people who have an Intellectual Disability also have other medical problems along with it. Some of the other diagnoses they have may include autism (or autism like disorders) and down syndrome. This article talked about the distress that certain individual may have and why it can effect their behavior and how they interact with people.

This article really helped me understand why some people with ID may have behavioral issue or problems with social skills. It is not only because of the disability they have but because of the pain they might be in because of their other medical problems. This showed that some people who have worse medical problems may not do well in the classroom with others because they may distract other students if its extremely serious.


 * LAMOUREUX-HÉBERT, M., MORIN, D., & CROCKER, A. (2010). Support Needs of Individuals With Mild and Moderate Intellectual Disabilities and Challenging Behaviors. Journal Of Mental Health Research In Intellectual Disabilities, 3(2), 67-84.**

Lamoureux, Morin and Crocker really looked into what someone with mild and moderate intellectual disability would need. It looked into the support needs they needed and it focused on those to IDs which usually people focus on profound and severe disability.

While doing my research I noticed a lot of people really focused on severe and profound intellectual disability, because those are considered more intense. But it was nice to read an article that really cared about mild and moderate diagnosed people and what their needs would be.


 * Musso, M. W., Barker, A. A., Proto, D. A., & Gouvier, W. (2012). College students’ conceptualizations of deficits involved in mild intellectual disability. Research In Developmental Disabilities, 33(1), 224-228.**

Musso, Barker, Proto & Gouvier decided to take a survey on what people thought about intellectual abilities and if their assumptions of the disability were right or true. A lot of the time the college students were off about what was actually right about the disability. This also gave some facts about people with intellectual disability like about jobs and marriage and whether they had them at the average rate or below.

It was really interesting to read this article because of what people thought about intellectual disabilities. From reading the questions that were given and the results it showed that a lot of people were uneducated on the subject and didn’t know a lot of the facts about it.
