Treating traumatized children with intellectual disabilities: Tailoring Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for a vulnerable population.
BACKGROUND: Children with intellectual disabilities are at heightened risk for traumatization, though underserved due to silos of care, diagnostic overshadowing, and lack of adapted treatment. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based childhood trauma therapy, is described with recommended adaptations for use with children who have intellectual disabilities.
METHOD: We present a suggested theoretical and clinical guide for treating children with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities. We explicate key functional domains of intellectual disabilities-comprehension, executive functions, and generalization-as the basis for tailoring the treatment model.
RESULTS: Therapy recommendations are organized into a heuristic 'matrix' of resources and adaptations to TF-CBT components, based on clinical experience and research literature, illustrated with composite case vignettes.
CONCLUSION: Children with intellectual disabilities are a uniquely vulnerable population historically excluded from clinical trauma interventions and research but can respond to adapted care. Considerations for future research and dissemination are discussed.
