OBJECTIVE: Families of children with neurodevelopmental disorders have developmental, behavioral, and social-emotional needs that affect quality of life (QoL). This study assesses the validity and utility of a caregiver QoL measure; characterizes QoL in families with children with Down syndrome (DS), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and a dual diagnosis of DS and ASD (DS + ASD); and compares and explores differences in QoL based on diagnosis.
METHODS: Caregivers of children and adolescents with ASD (n = 610) and DS (n = 177) completed the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Family Impact Module 2.0, yielding overall, parent functioning, family functioning, and subscale scores, and a Parent Global Impression (PGI) rating. An ASD cohort (n = 177) was sex matched to the DS cohort (n = 177) to mitigate potential sex bias. Additional analyses compared these groups with children and adolescents with DS + ASD (n = 37).
RESULTS: Analyses showed that the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory was valid and reliable in DS, ASD, and DS + ASD populations. No differences were reported in PGI ratings among groups. Caregivers in the DS group demonstrated higher QoL and family functioning compared with the ASD and DS + ASD groups. The DS group reported significantly better Emotional Functioning and Communication and less Worry than the ASD group. Compared with the ASD group, caregivers of the DS + ASD group indicated more concerns with Physical Functioning. Notably, the DS + ASD group had significantly lower levels of QoL than the DS group in nearly all caregiver functioning domains.
CONCLUSION: This study highlights differences in QoL within and between neurodevelopmental disorder groups, which may help identify families requiring additional support, advocacy, and community engagement.
