Sumario:Group cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) has been shown to improve cognition and quality of life of people with dementia in multiple trials, but there has been scant research involving people with intellectual disability and dementia. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial of group CST for this population. There were multiple challenges including recruitment issues, a large dropout rate before randomisation and practical issues affecting attendance. These issues would need to be addressed before conducting a larger trial.
