Summary

Many adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) have depressive symptoms, which negatively impact their quality of life. A lot of of the non-medicinal forms of treatment are not or hardly suitable for people with ID. Bright light therapy (BLT) seems to be a good option. Earlier research has shown that BLT is applicable in this group and seems promising in terms of reducing depressive symptoms, without serious side effects.

In part 1 of this project we investigate the implementation of BLT at Amarant. We will take the lessons learned into part 2 of this project: the implementation of BLT at Abrona. We will evaluate this process and the outcomes.
