Abstract

Background

Although research has identified that the transition to adulthood for young persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities is not linear, little is known about how young persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities, parents, and teachers conceptualise transition, particularly successful transition. The focus of this paper is on how the different stakeholders conceptualised transition and what constitutes successful transition, in general, and for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Method

Thematic analysis was applied to 8 focus groups with 84 participants, exploring transition and successful transition in the Czech Republic.

Results

Five themes emerged, including gaining independence, having a job and opportunities as everybody else, satisfaction with life, and transition of youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities as an important issue which needs to be addressed.

Conclusions

Our findings point to the need for recognising different outcomes of successful transition from postsecondary education to adulthood, not just those primarily related to employment.

定义产品化和产品化成功：来自不同利益相关者的视角。

背景：虽然研究已经确定了智力和发育障碍的年轻人向成年的过渡不是线性的，但对于智力和发育障碍的年轻人、父母和老师如何概念化过渡，特别是成功的过渡，我们知之甚少。本文的重点是不同的利益相关者如何概念化过渡，以及什么是成功的过渡，一般来说，对于有智力和发育障碍的人。方法：对8个焦点小组84人进行专题分析，探讨捷克共和国的转型与成功转型。结果：出现了五个主题，包括获得独立、像其他人一样有工作和机会、对生活的满意度以及智力和发育障碍青年的过渡是需要解决的重要问题。结论：我们的研究结果指出，需要认识到从高等教育成功过渡到成年的不同结果，而不仅仅是那些主要与就业有关的结果。
