Same as you: health issues in women with learning disabilities after the menopause (2007)
Journal Article
Willis, D. (2007). Same as you: health issues in women with learning disabilities after the menopause. Learning Disability Practice, 10, 16-22. https://doi.org/10.7748/ldp2007.11.10.9.16.c6257

Rising life expectancy means that more people with learning disabilities are living into old age (Bittles et al 2002, Wilkinson and Janicki 2005). Although this is very welcome, age-related health problems such as dementia and cancer are inevitably a...

Journal Article
Lincoln, N. B., Drummond, A. E. R., Edmans, J. A., Yeo, G. T., & Willis, D. (2007). The REY figure copy as a screening instrument fro perceptual deficits after stroke. British Journal of Occupational Therapy, 61, 33-35. https://doi.org/10.1177/030802269806100108

The aim of the study was to investigate the use of the Rey figure for screening patients for perceptual impairment following stroke. Stroke patients in a trial of a stroke unit were assessed using the Rey figure copy at entry to the study. Those admi...

Journal Article
Wishart, J. G., Willis, D., Cebula, K. R., & Pitcairn, T. K. (2007). Collaborative learning: comparison of outcomes for typically developing children and children with intellectual disabilities. American journal of mental retardation : AJMR, 112, 361-374. https://doi.org/10.1352/0895-8017%282007%29112%5B0361%3ACLCOOF%5D2.0.CO%3B2%29

Collaborative learning is widely used in mainstream education but rarely utilized with children who have intellectual disabilities, possibly on the assumption that the metacognitive skills on which it capitalizes are less likely to be available. Effe... Read More about Collaborative learning: comparison of outcomes for typically developing children and children with intellectual disabilities..

Understanding of facial expressions of emotion by children with intellectual disabilities of differing aetiology. (2007)
Journal Article
Wishart, J. G., Cebula, K. R., Willis, D., & Pitcairn, T. K. (2007). Understanding of facial expressions of emotion by children with intellectual disabilities of differing aetiology. Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 51, 551-563. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2788.2006.00947.x

Background Interpreting emotional expressions is a socio-cognitive skill central to interpersonal interaction. Poor emotion recognition has been reported in autism but is less well understood in other kinds of intellectual disabilities (ID), with pr...

Emotion recognition by children with Down syndrome: investigation of specific impairments and error patterns. (2005)
Journal Article
Williams, K. R., NaWishart, J. G., Pitcairn, T. K. & Willis, D. (2005). Emotion recognition by children with Down syndrome: investigation of specific impairments and error patterns. American journal of mental retardation : AJMR. 110. . 387-392. . ISSN 0895-8017.

The ability of children with Down syndrome to recognize expressions of emotion was compared to performance in typically developing and nonspecific intellectual disability groups matched on either MA or a performance-related measure. Our goal was to (... Read More about Emotion recognition by children with Down syndrome: investigation of specific impairments and error patterns..
