Abstract

Transportation is a necessity in adult life. Qualitative literature regarding the usability of transportation to travel freely within the community (e.g., school, work, leisure activities) is widely circulated; however, information regarding transportation needs and barriers specifically faced by individuals with an intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) is limited. This study discusses the accessibility and usability of transportation avenues for individuals with IDD. Young adults with IDD ( n = 9) explored their transportation experiences of accessing specialized public transportation (paratransit), ride-share, and personal vehicles independently. Researchers used a multiple-case study design to analyze interviews, observations, and document reviews. Results indicated the importance of teaching, maintaining, and generalizing transportation skills. Limitations and implications for research and practice are discussed.
环游社区:定性探索智力和发育障碍成人的交通体验
交通是成人生活的必需品。有关在社区内自由出行(如上学、工作、休闲活动)的交通可用性的定性文献广为流传;然而,有关智力和发育障碍(IDD)患者的交通需求和所面临障碍的具体信息却很有限。本研究探讨了 IDD 患者的交通途径的可达性和可用性。患有 IDD 的年轻成年人(n = 9)探讨了他们独立使用专业公共交通(准公共交通)、共乘和个人车辆的交通体验。研究人员采用多案例研究设计对访谈、观察和文件审查进行了分析。结果表明,教授、保持和普及交通技能非常重要。本文讨论了研究和实践的局限性和影响。
