Abstract

Introduction

The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities establishes that the support to independent living should be community-based and under the choice and control of each person. This study compares the assessment of support practices by people with intellectual disabilities receiving support versus support staff and by people living in personalised support arrangements versus those living in group homes.

Method

One hundred and two people with intellectual disabilities and 99 professionals assessed the support using the Guide for the Assessment of Support to Independent Living.

Results

Statistical analyses found significant differences between people receiving support and support staff in areas such as social relationships, ICT use, community participation, and evaluation of supports. People living in their own homes had a better perception of the support they received than those living in group homes.

Conclusion

The study highlights the need for tools to help professionals and support recipients assess support practices.

独立生活支援评估：智障人士及支援专业人士的观点

《残疾人权利公约》规定，对独立生活的支助应以社区为基础，并在每个人的选择和控制之下。这项研究比较了接受支持的智障人士与支持人员，以及生活在个性化支持安排中的人士与生活在集体之家的人士对支持实践的评估。方法采用《独立生活支持评估指南》对102名智障人士和99名专业人员的支持情况进行评估。结果统计分析发现，在社会关系、信息通信技术使用、社区参与和支持评估等方面，接受支持的人和支持人员之间存在显著差异。住在自己家里的人比住在集体之家的人对他们得到的支持有更好的认识。结论：本研究强调需要工具来帮助专业人员和支持接受者评估支持实践。
