abstract: 'Employment is a fundamental part of adult life. Adults with intellectual
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disability (ID) face multiple barriers to employment, however, and are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
underrepresented in the paid workforce. Formal volunteering has been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
promoted as both a stepping stone and an alternative to employment for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
some adults with disability. The purpose of this article is to provide
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
an overview of research findings relating to volunteering and employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for work-age adults with ID. Few studies have examined the experiences
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of adults with ID who volunteer. The findings indicate that volunteering
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
alone is unlikely to lead to employment for adults with ID. However,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
some adults with ID view volunteering as a meaningful and desirable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
alternative to paid work. There is a need for further research to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
examine the relationship between volunteering and employment for adults
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with ID. In addition, there is a need for practice guidelines to ensure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that the outcomes for adults with ID who volunteer, and those who seek
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paid employment, are successful.'
