interventions based solely on training in ToM skills in order to improve social adjustment are unlikely to be really effective,
given that ToM skills acquisition does not mean ToM skills application. Integrating the self-concept process – especially perceived social acceptance – as a complement to ToM abilities in assessment procedures and intervention programs could lead to a more nuanced understanding of social (mal)adjustment in children with ID
(and all the more so in identified subgroups sharing similar profiles).
