Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The aim of the study is to investigate the reliability and validity of the Dutch version of the TAPS-tool. This will be investigated in 2 groups: patients without intellectual disabilities treated in Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) teams and patients with intellectual disabilities. For the later group, an adjusted version of the TAPS-tool will be developed. For both groups the TAPS outcome will be compared to a golden standard.
