The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether an ICF-based interdisciplinary case management model can improve adaptive functioning, functioning and participation, and vocational functioning among adults aged 18 to 60 years with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities receiving residential care or vocational rehabilitation services in Hong Kong. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare participants receiving ICF-based interdisciplinary case management with those receiving conventional multidisciplinary rehabilitation care to determine whether the ICF-based approach produces better outcomes in adaptive functioning, functioning and participation, and vocational functioning.
Participants will:
Adults with intellectual disabilities often experience complex and interrelated challenges in adaptive functioning, participation, and community integration that require coordinated interdisciplinary rehabilitation. The World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a biopsychosocial framework for understanding functioning and disability and facilitates communication, goal setting, and collaborative care planning among rehabilitation professionals.
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an ICF-based interdisciplinary case management model for adults with intellectual disabilities receiving residential care or vocational rehabilitation services. Participants will be randomly allocated to either an ICF-based interdisciplinary case management group or a conventional multidisciplinary rehabilitation care group and followed for six months.
The intervention is guided by the ICF Rehab-Cycle®, which comprises four key processes: assessment, assignment, intervention, and evaluation. Using the ICF framework, interdisciplinary team members will conduct a comprehensive assessment of participants' body functions, activities, participation, environmental factors, and personal factors. Assessment findings will be used to develop a shared understanding of each participant's functioning profile and to formulate individualized rehabilitation goals through interdisciplinary case conferences. These goals will guide coordinated intervention planning and service delivery. Participants' progress and goal attainment will be reviewed regularly, and intervention strategies will be adjusted according to changes in functioning and participation throughout the rehabilitation process.
Participants in the control group will receive routine multidisciplinary rehabilitation services according to existing service practices without the use of a structured ICF-based case management framework.
The findings will provide evidence regarding the clinical effectiveness and feasibility of implementing an ICF-based interdisciplinary case management approach in intellectual disability rehabilitation services and may inform future service development, interdisciplinary practice, and the application of the ICF framework in rehabilitation settings.

Participants will receive rehabilitation services coordinated using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. The intervention includes standardized ICF-based assessment, interdisciplinary case conferences, collaborative goal setting, individualized rehabilitation planning, and coordinated intervention delivery by multidisciplinary team members over a 6-month period. Outcomes are monitored and reviewed according to participants' functioning, participation, environmental, and personal factors.
Behavioral: ICF-Based Interdisciplinary Case Management
Participants will receive usual rehabilitation services provided by multidisciplinary professionals according to existing service practices. Assessment, goal setting, and intervention planning will be conducted in accordance with routine procedures without the use of a structured ICF-based case management framework.
Other: Conventional Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation Care
A structured case management model utilizing the ICF framework to guide assessment, goal setting, intervention planning, and interdisciplinary collaboration for adults with intellectual disabilities receiving rehabilitation services.
Standard rehabilitation services delivered by multidisciplinary professionals, including discipline-specific assessment, rehabilitation planning, and intervention based on existing service protocols.
Adaptive Functioning
Adaptive functioning measured by the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition (Vineland-3). The Vineland-3 assesses participants' adaptive behavior across domains including communication, daily living skills, and socialization. Change in scores from baseline to 6 months will be compared between the intervention and control groups.
Time frame: Baseline and 6 months (post-intervention)
Functioning and Participation
Functioning and participation measured using the WHO ICF Checklist Version 2.1a. The assessment evaluates functioning across body functions, activities and participation, environmental factors, and personal factors. Changes from baseline to 6 months will be compared between groups.
Time frame: Baseline and 6 months post-intervention.
Vocational Functioning
Vocational functioning measured using the Chinese Work Personality Profile (CWPP). The assessment evaluates work-related behaviors and vocational performance among participants receiving vocational rehabilitation services. Changes from baseline to 6 months will be compared between groups.
Time frame: Baseline and 6 months post-intervention.

Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Sep 2027, 10 months later.
Of 155 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Intellectual Disability, half reached primary completion within 18 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36. This study's planned 10 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 158 studies reached it within 19 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36.
