Abstract

ABSTRACT Background This study investigated transition, or school leaving, as experienced by young adults living in Aotearoa New Zealand who had significant intellectual and developmental disabilities. Method To investigate these typically unheard perspectives, qualitative methods were adapted to individual communication preferences. Personal and contextual intersections were critically analysed using the theoretical framework of the capability approach. The capability approach emphasises individuality and one's freedom of choice to construct a good life of dignity. Results Timetables - schedules of daily activities - were examined using artefactual analysis to make sense of and explain important insights about transition through this pivotal support anchor. Yet, the utility of these artefacts, found to communicate personal capabilities, was underrecognised by those supporting transitions from school. Conclusion This article reports fresh insights into supporting this critical life stage increasing the potential for a transition with dignity.

有尊严地安排过渡的时间表:需要大量支持的年轻人的观点

摘要背景本研究调查了生活在新西兰奥特罗阿的有严重智力和发育障碍的年轻人的过渡或辍学经历。方法为了调查这些典型的未被听到的观点，采用定性的方法来适应个人的沟通偏好。使用能力方法的理论框架批判性地分析了个人和上下文的交叉点。能力观强调人的个性和选择的自由，以建构有尊严的美好生活。时间表-日常活动的时间表-使用人工分析来理解和解释通过这个关键支持锚过渡的重要见解。然而，这些用来传达个人能力的人工制品的效用，却没有得到那些支持从学校过渡的人的认可。本文报告了支持这一关键生命阶段的新见解，增加了有尊严过渡的可能性。
