Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Intervention model description: A mixed-method repeated-measures design will be used: data are collected using both qualitative and quantitative methods at two points in time (before and after adaptation) from the same participants.
Primary purpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Brief summary: In the proposed study, the investigators aim to investigate whether the existing ABAS-3 self-report questionnaire is suitable to be completed meaningfully by individuals who are perceived as having mild intellectual disability (55\<IQ\<85) based on cognitive impairment. Based on the participants' experiences and researchers' expertise, the investigators develop a 'more inclusive' self-report version. The investigators then look at the extent to which participants indicate that they understand this version better, based on user experiences and limited psychometric research. In doing so, the investigators also compare the outcomes of the self-report and informant-report variant.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age 18 years or older
* Last known Total Intelligence Quotient (TIQ) 55 - 85
* Receiving support from a care organization for persons with ID.
* A care worker who knows the participant for at least a year and knows him well enough tot complete the informant version of the ABAS-3 is available.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Severe physical or sensory impairment limiting ability to participate.
