Computer-based cognitive remediation program for the treatment of behavioral problems in children with intellectual disability: the «COGNITUS MOI» study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

摘要

BackgroundComorbid psychiatric disorders are frequent in children with intellectual disability (ID). Given the limitations of drugs treatments, cognitive remediation could be a promising tool to reduce these challenging behaviors but evidence is still scarce. Our group recently developed the «COGNITUS & MOI» program that is designed to train the attentional and visuospatial skills in children with ID. This study investigates the efficiency of the «COGNITUS & MOI» program in this condition.
