A 2026 study by Victoria Sánchez-Gómez assessed 242 students with autism in Chilean general education schools using the Quality of Life Index-Primary Education (QoLI-PE) tool. The research evaluated the psychometric properties of the instrument and explored the quality of life across eight domains for this population.

Use Cases
