Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this pilot was to evaluate the effectiveness of the E-IDEAS curriculum, specifically designed for workplace inclusion of youths with intellectual disabilities (ID) and aimed to transfer social, communication, independent living and employment skills.

Method: The curriculum was attended by 5 participants, and it was provided concurrently with five different work-placements across a period of six months. Two assessment tools were used to demonstrate the acquisition of such skills and an evidence-base improvement of their quality of life. Pre and post-intervention standardized assessments were also taken for measuring the improvement in quality of life (through the San Martín Scale) and adaptive behavior (through the Vineland-II Adaptive Behavior Scale).

Results: The data collected showed increases in the acquisition of such skills. Evidence of maintenance and generalization were also demonstrated.

Conclusion: Implications for practice and further research are discussed.

智障青年从学校到就业的过渡计划:爱尔兰试点研究E-IDEAS的评估。

目的:这项试验的目的是评估E-IDEAS课程的成效，该课程是专门为智障青年的工作场所融合而设计的，旨在传授社交、沟通、独立生活和就业技能。方法:课程由5人参加，同时提供5个不同的工作实习，为期6个月。使用了两种评估工具来证明获得了这些技能，并以证据为基础改善了他们的生活质量。干预前后还进行了标准化评估，以衡量生活质量(通过San Martín量表)和适应行为(通过Vineland-II适应行为量表)的改善。结果:收集的数据显示，这些技能的习得有所增加。还证明了维持和推广的证据。结论:讨论了对实践和进一步研究的启示。

期刊介绍： Developmental Neurorehabilitation aims to enhance recovery, rehabilitation and education of people with brain injury, neurological disorders, and other developmental, physical and intellectual disabilities. Although there is an emphasis on childhood, developmental disability can be considered from a lifespan perspective. This perspective acknowledges that development occurs throughout a person’s life and thus a range of impairments or diseases can cause a disability that can affect development at any stage of life.
