The IMAGINE ID Team was invited by the University of Edinburgh in June 2022 to present at the Neurodevelopmental Annual Seminar.
Feedback on IMAGINE 1 DAWBA Reports
Our Research Assistant, Harriet Housby presented findings about family perceptions of the DAWBA reports we send families as part of IMAGINE 1. Our key findings were:
- Families told us that the DAWBA reports were useful in changing their understanding of their child’s behaviour.
- DAWBA reports were shared widely with other people, particularly with those involved in the child’s care.
- Many families reported using their reports as supporting evidence for EHCP plans or disability allowance applications.

COVID-19 & Shielding
Hannah Aissa, our placement student shared findings on the impact of shielding during the COVID-19 pandemic on children and young people within the IMAGINE study. We found that:
- Children with ID and a rare genetic disorder experienced a range of challenges during the pandemic.
- Those who were shielding were reported to have greater emotional difficulties and worse prosocial skills (e.g. less helpful behaviours) than those who were not shielding.
