Abstract

Background

Many people view people with intellectual disability primarily as needing help. That perspective limits relationships and can promote discrimination. We sought to better understand social relationships among young adults with intellectual disability.

Method

Seven postsecondary students with intellectual disability participated in a photovoice study, sharing photos and stories about giving and receiving help. They participated in individual interviews, a group meeting, and a photo exhibition, and helped identify results and conclusions.

Results

Participants viewed themselves as helpers and recipients of help. Themes were: foundational importance of families; openness to being helped; personal growth through challenging experiences; and tension between wanting to help and risks of helping others. Participants wanted to raise awareness that people with disabilities can help others, educate them about disability, and contribute to research.

Conclusions

Many young adults with intellectual disability want to contribute to relationships, which are often limited by others' expectations about disability.

这不像单行道"：利用摄影荐言了解智障大学生如何体验相互依存关系

背景许多人认为智障人士主要需要帮助。这种观点限制了人际关系，并可能助长歧视。我们试图更好地了解智障青少年的社会关系。方法七名智障大专学生参与了一项摄影荐言研究，分享了关于给予和接受帮助的照片和故事。他们参加了个人访谈、小组会议和摄影展，并帮助确定结果和结论。结果参与者将自己视为帮助者和受助者。主题包括：家庭的基础重要性；对接受帮助持开放态度；通过挑战性经历实现个人成长；希望帮助他人与帮助他人的风险之间的矛盾。参与者希望提高人们对残疾人可以帮助他人的认识，对他们进行残疾教育，并为研究做出贡献。结论许多智障青年希望为人际关系做出贡献，但这往往受到他人对残疾的期望的限制。
