Dear colleague,

This paper examines how developmental risk factors associated with depression in typically developing adolescents may interact with the particular life experience of adolescents with intellectual disabilities and influence vulnerability to depression. It suggests that a consideration of developmental factors and their interaction with the person’s social environment may offer a possible framework for prevention and early intervention with adolescents with intellectual disabilities.
