  • Health‐Related Quality of Life and Psychological Adjustment of Middle School Students With Mild Intellectual Disability: The Role of Educational Placement Evelyn Kiive Kaja Pastarus Tea Ausin Kristina Kutsar Triin Kivirähk‐Koor Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities ABSTRACT Background This study aimed to assess the level of health‐related quality of life, the occurrence of behavioural and emotional problems, and the association between those among 10–11‐year‐old students with mild intellectual disability who are studying in mainstream schools and separate special schools. Methods The study included the caregivers and teachers of 76 students with mild intellectual disability. Students' quality of life was evaluated using the KINDL‐R parent report. The SDQ versions for parents and teachers were used to measure the difficulties of the students. Results As reported by caregivers and teachers, lower quality of life was associated with a higher prevalence of behavioural‐emotional problems. According to caregivers, students attending special schools had higher school‐related well‐being than mainstream school students. Conclusion Although students' life quality and behavioural‐emotional adjustment do not significantly differ between mainstream and special schools, attention should be paid to the school‐related well‐being of students integrated into regular schools. 10.1111/jar.70113 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
