Abstract

Longitudinal research is crucial to fully assess the putative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children with an intellectual disability in special school settings—ideally drawing on data pre-pandemic to be able to evaluate later impact. Data on challenging behaviour and adaptive skills were collected annually for 348 students in one special school across four time points pre-pandemic and one time point post-pandemic. Data were analysed using multilevel models with repeated observations over the five time points. There was a decrease in aggressive and destructive behaviours and a decrease in adaptive skills at the post-pandemic time point, after accounting for other important covariates. There was no evidence of a change in stereotyped or self-injurious challenging behaviours. Other research using longitudinal methods is rare, but the current findings are consistent with previous research reporting on the impact of COVID-19 on children and young people, particularly from parent reports. Future considerations for schools include adopting appropriate strategies to support learners to reintegrate back into education. Further research is needed to look at the longer-term impact of the pandemic on challenging behaviour in children with an intellectual disability.

英格兰 COVID-19 封锁对特殊学校儿童挑战行为和适应能力的影响:纵向研究
纵向研究对于全面评估 COVID-19 大流行对特殊学校中智障儿童的潜在影响至关重要--最好是利用大流行前的数据来评估后期的影响。我们每年都会收集一所特殊学校 348 名学生的挑战行为和适应能力数据,包括大流行前的四个时间点和大流行后的一个时间点。采用多层次模型对数据进行了分析,并对五个时间点进行了重复观察。在考虑了其他重要的协变量之后,大流行后的时间点上,攻击性和破坏性行为有所减少,适应能力有所下降。没有证据表明刻板行为或自我伤害挑战行为发生了变化。使用纵向方法进行的其他研究并不多见,但目前的研究结果与之前关于 COVID-19 对儿童和青少年影响的研究报告一致,尤其是来自家长的报告。学校今后需要考虑的问题包括采取适当的策略,支持学习者重新融入教育。还需要进一步研究该流行病对智障儿童挑战行为的长期影响。
