Interventions
The function-profile is the starting point for intervention. Patients receive
hearing measures or speech therapy on the basis of their function profile.
Thus, two types of treatment will offered: (1

therapeutic intervention strategies for children.
The two types of treatment are the following:

| The specific function training will be given in two episodes of 3 months, with an intervening rest-episode, each followed by assessment of progress. Based on progress and motivation of the patient, in the second episode the same training will be continued as in the first, or a switch to another approach within the same function domain will be made. Because in the literature hardly any reports are available on this type of function training in adults with mental retardation, with concomitant restricted motivation and trainability, a study design with randomized groups seems inappropriate. In order to track progress during treatment, a detailed protocol of assessment and registration of training will be developed and implemented. | — |
