This dissertation by Lisa Palmqvist explores how to support everyday planning in adolescents with intellectual disabilities (ID). The research investigates whether life experience contributes to the diversity in planning performance seen in previous literature. It examines both external supports, such as assistive technology for cognition (ATC), and internal supports like cognitive abilities and life experiences. The study finds that while ATC can bolster cognitive functions, it often does not lead to independent planning by the adolescents. The research supports the difference model of ID, indicating that planning ability correlates with different cognitive measures and life experiences compared to typically developing children. Despite improvements in planning tasks through a cognitive training program, no transfer effects to untrained tasks were observed. The thesis concludes that external and internal supports can aid planning but stresses the need for ATC to be designed to enhance independence.

What does it mean to be a teenager in an American city at the close of the twentieth century? How do urban surroundings affect the ways in which teens grow up, and what do their stories tell us about human development? In particular, how do the negative images of themselves on television and in the newspaper affect their perspectives about themselves? Psychologists typically have shown little interest in urban youth, preferring instead to generalize about adolescent development from studies of their middle-class, suburban counterparts. In Everyday Courage Niobe Way, a developmental psychologis
