ICF-based interdisciplinary case management for adults with intellectual disability

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Researchers will enroll 120 adults aged 18–60 with mild to moderate intellectual disability and randomly assign them to an ICF-based interdisciplinary case management group or to conventional care management. The intervention uses coordinated assessments, goal-setting, intervention planning, and outcome evaluation by an interdisciplinary team, guided by the Rehab-Cycle framework and the ICF. The control group continues to receive standard community rehabilitation services. Outcomes will be measured before and after the intervention to see changes in functioning, activity participation, and quality of life.
