| - Feasibility and utility: The Session Rating Scale (SRS; Duncan et al., 2003) will be used at the end of each session to assess how satisfied clients are about VRAPT-ID. The SRS consists of four items: (1) Relationship (i.e., I felt heard, understood, and respected); (2) Goals and Topics (i.e., we worked on and talked about what I wanted to work on and talk about); (3) Approach or Method (i.e., the therapist*s approach is a good fit for me); (4) Overall (i.e., overall, today*s session was right for me). In addition, after each VRAPT-ID session, participants are asked: (1) *What was the most important part of this session for you personally?*, (2) *How easy was this session to understand?*, (3) *What do you think about the VR assessments?*. Finally, participants will be asked to rate the session with a grade from 1 (very low) to 10 (high). After completion of all VRAPT-ID sessions and the post- intervention measurements, we will have a semi-structured interview with each participant and therapist individually. During this interview, participants are for example asked what they understood of VRAPT-ID, whether they think they benefited from it, if they liked it and what should be improved or changed. - Aggression: the Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS; Kay, Wolkenfeld, & Murrill, 1988) will be used. The MOAS is a four-part behavior rating scale designed to measure four types of aggressive behavior: (1) verbal aggression; (2) physical aggression against objects; (3) physical aggression against self; and (4) physical aggression against others, as witnessed by staff members on a day-to-day basis. Furthermore, the MOAS is standardized in a sample of people with intellectual disabilities (Oliver, Crawford, Rao, Reece, & Tyrer, 2007). Clinicians will fill out the MOAS once a week starting four weeks before the start of the intervention, during the intervention, and four weeks after the last session of the intervention. - Emotions: Participant | — |
