Abstract

A global paradigm shift is currently taking place with regard to the understanding of health and disease through-out the human life span. International research indicates that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) play a key role in child development and subsequent adult health. This new perspective on the foundations of health offers hopeful insights to promote health and mitigate negative health consequences. Children with intellectual disabilities (ID) and their families are currently underrepresented in international ACEs research, while it is important that the current insights can also contribute tot the improvement of their health and well-being. In this poster presentation, the results of an exploratory case-file study (N=69) on ACEs in children with ID In Dutch residential care will be presented.
