The diagnosis of mild intellectual disability (MID) marks a reduced ability to reason and understand abstract or complex information, which restricts school learning. In addition to difficulties acquiring academic skills, students with MID may have problems in communication and social functioning, and there is evidence that they have poorer mental health and lower health-related quality of life when compared to their typically developed peers. Comparative studies on the relationship between health-related quality of life and behavioural-emotional adjustment among students with MID attending mainstream or special schools are rare.
