Abstract

There is limited available research on the post-high school outcomes of young adults with Down syndrome (DS). The purpose of this study, therefore, was to characterize employment, community-based living, and community engagement outcomes and their correlates among young adults with DS who recently transitioned out of high school. Caregivers (n = 100) of young adults with DS who exited high school within the past 5 years completed an online survey. Approximately half of the individuals with DS were working in some capacity; almost all were living with caregivers. Individuals with DS were engaging in a variety of community activities each week. Adaptive functioning was related to both employment and community engagement. Parent involvement in transition planning was also related to community engagement.

唐氏综合症青少年高中后过渡的结果。

对于患有唐氏综合症(DS)的年轻人高中毕业后的结果，现有的研究有限。因此，本研究的目的是表征就业、社区生活和社区参与的结果，以及它们在最近从高中毕业的年轻DS患者中的相关性。过去5年内高中毕业的年轻DS患者的照顾者(n = 100)完成了一项在线调查。大约一半的唐氏综合症患者有一定的工作能力;几乎所有人都和看护人住在一起。患有DS的人每周都参加各种各样的社区活动。适应性功能与就业和社区参与都有关。家长参与过渡规划也与社区参与有关。
