Behaviour and Psychopathology in Preschool Children with William Syndrome and the Effects of Age, Sex and Cognition / Daniel MIEZAH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-2 (February 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-2 (February 2026) . - p.762-772 Titre : Behaviour and Psychopathology in Preschool Children with William Syndrome and the Effects of Age, Sex and Cognition Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Daniel MIEZAH, Auteur ; Melanie PORTER, Auteur ; Jennifer BATCHELOR, Auteur ; Adriana ROSSI, Auteur ; Jessica REEVE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.762-772 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The current study compared the prevalence of cognitive and psychopathological impairments among 24 preschool children with Williams syndrome (WS) (aged 2.20 to 5.97 years) and 53 controls without WS and screened for developmental or psychological diagnoses (aged 2.21 to 5.89 years) matched on chronological age and sex distribution. Associations between sex, chronological age, early development and psychopathology were also investigated. The Child Behavior Checklist—Preschool Version (CBCL) and the Mullen Scales of Early Learning were administered. Higher reported rates of Attention Problems, Emotional Reactivity, Somatic Complaints, Withdrawal, Affective Problems and Total Problems were found in preschool children with WS. There were no significant group differences in prevalence rates of all other CBCL domains. Attention Problems were the most prevalent psychopathology in preschool children with WS (33% falling in the clinically significant range), followed by Affective Problems (29% in clinically significant range), then Anxiety Problems (17%) or Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Problems (17%). Among children without WS, the highest prevalence rates of psychopathology were for Attention Problems (4% falling in the clinically significant range), Aggressive Behaviour (4%), Sleep Problems (4%) and Oppositional Defiant Problems (4%). There were no significant associations between sex or chronological age and CBCL-reported psychopathology for either group. In addition, there were no significant relationships between CBCL ratings and verbal ability, nonverbal ability or overall developmental level in either group. Findings highlight variations in the pattern of psychopathology among preschool children with WS compared to those without WS, which needs to be considered in clinical management and future research.

Everyday Executive Functioning Profiles in Adults with Down Syndrome / Daniel MIEZAH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-1 (January 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-1 (January 2026) . - p.388-400 Titre : Everyday Executive Functioning Profiles in Adults with Down Syndrome Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Daniel MIEZAH, Auteur ; Melanie PORTER, Auteur ; Jennifer BATCHELOR, Auteur ; Poli GAVRIA, Auteur ; Kelsie BOULTON, Auteur ; Jessica REEVE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.388-400 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Research on everyday executive functions in individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) has focused mostly on children and adolescents. The current study examined everyday executive functions in DS adults. 27 DS adults (aged 22.00 to 42.00 years) were tested using the Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult Informant Version (BRIEF-A). Findings revealed that DS adults exhibited greater impairments in Global Executive Composite (GEC), Working Memory, Plan/Organise, Task-Monitor and the Metacognition Index (MI) relative to typically developing adults in the normative sample. Substantial variabilities were found in all everyday executive function abilities among DS adults. Findings highlight the importance of making comprehensive assessments of everyday executive functions in DS individuals in order to identify problem areas and plan individualised support programmes.

Parenting Style and Mental Health of Parents Raising Children with Intellectual Disabilities in Ghana / Daniel MIEZAH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-11 (November 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-11 (November 2026) . - p.4495-4506 Titre : Parenting Style and Mental Health of Parents Raising Children with Intellectual Disabilities in Ghana Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Daniel MIEZAH, Auteur ; Maxwell Peprah OPOKU, Auteur ; Rebecca QUARTEY, Auteur ; Martha-Pearl OKAI, Auteur ; Ebenezer Mensah GYIMAH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4495-4506 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parenting style adopted by parents is believed to impact parental well-being and development of children including those with intellectual disabilities. While there is large body of literature on parenting style adopted by parents raising children with intellectual disabilities, especially in the western context, limited attempt has been made to understand parental styles and their relationships with the mental health of parents. In this study, a total of 200 parents raising children with intellectual disabilities completed the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire, Depression, Anxiety and Stress scale (DASS-21) and the Financial Stress Scale. The instrument was subjected to correlations and hierarchical multiple regressions. The results showed contribution of mental health in the variance in parenting style. For instance, general stress, anxiety and financial stress made significant contribution in the variance in authoritarian parenting style. Also, general stress, anxiety and financial stress made significant contribution in the variance in authoritative parenting style. Additionally, a relationship was found between permissive parenting, depression, general stress and financial stress. The study concludes with a recommendation for targeted parenting and mental health training for parents raising children with intellectual disabilities in Ghana.
