abstract: 'Purpose: People with intellectual and developmental disability (IDD)
|
|
|
|
have historically had high unemployment and underemployment rates and
|
|
|
|
continue to face significant barriers to attaining and sustaining
|
|
|
|
employment. The purpose of this research, conducted in Ontario, Canada
|
|
|
|
was to better understand the experiences of people with IDD gaining and
|
|
|
|
keeping productivity roles. Method: We used qualitative semi-structured
|
|
|
|
interviews with 74 participants with IDD and their families or
|
|
|
|
caregivers as proxies regarding the employment of a person with IDD. We
|
|
|
|
selected a sample of persons from three different geographic regions in
|
|
|
|
Ontario, Canada, and analyzed data through coding methods consistent
|
|
|
|
with a grounded theory approach. Results: Our results demonstrate the
|
|
|
|
importance of parents and other members of social and family networks
|
|
|
|
relative to connecting with work options and sustaining work over time,
|
|
|
|
especially through continued advocacy and investment. Parents helped
|
|
|
|
individuals with IDD negotiate the right job fit, though they often
|
|
|
|
encountered challenges as a result of their efforts. Conclusion:
|
|
|
|
Practitioners must understand how to support parents to be effective
|
|
|
|
advocates for their adult children with IDD, assist them to develop and
|
|
|
|
maintain their social networks and help them to avoid caregiver
|
|
|
|
burnout.Implications for RehabilitationPeople with intellectual and
|
|
|
|
developmental disability (IDD) face numerous challenges in indentifying
|
|
|
|
work options and overcoming barriers to employment.Parents and other
|
|
|
|
non-paid support members of social networks can be instrumental in
|
|
|
|
ensuring that persons with IDD not only secure initial job placements,
|
|
|
|
but also sustain employment and employment alternatives.Professionals
|
|
|
|
that support persons with IDD can direct their efforts to helping
|
|
|
|
persons with IDD develop strong social connections, as well as helping
|
|
|
|
parents to prevent burnout.'
