A quality of life supports model: Six research-focused steps to evaluate the model and enhance research practices in the field of IDD

[EN] In the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) the constructs of quality of life and supports have been combined into a Quality of Life Supports Model (QOLSM) that is currently used internationally for supports provision, organization transformation, and systems change.
