What this paper is
This is a methodological commentary about measurement invariance, which asks whether test scores mean the same thing across groups in intellectual and developmental disability research. It contains no participants, no study methods, no outcomes, and no results, so there is no finding to act on.

The easy way to misread this
Do not treat this as evidence that a test is valid for people with intellectual disability. It is a methodological commentary, not a study of patients or test performance.
